Upon release, Ben Varkentine of PopMatters said: "If you like these songs you're better off seeking out a greatest hits collection; as the new, increased guitar arrangements don't add anything particularly memorable to the old songs."[4] Doug Stone of AllMusic commented that the album "holds more guts than expected considering the vast keyboard capacity of Terri Nunn's vehicle" and the "melodies remain sharp, haunting, and hot". He concluded: "Live: Sacred and Profane is a surprise treat from an unlikely concert attraction."[1]
