Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album four and a half stars, writing that while listening to both discs in a row "is a little exhausting," there is "little question that Ladies & Gentlemen comes close to being definitive". Other critics echoed this, with Jam! Showbiz praising how the album gave listeners a "feel for the growth and progress in Michael's musical output".
