"However good - warts and all - Detour is, it's unlikely to switch doubters to the converted. But for those with even a passing interest in Costello's music, it's something to be savoured. Passion over polish, the singer and the song - when they collide, it's all you need".

"Costello fans will eat it up, but there is little doubt many of these songs sound better and more exciting with a full band. That makes this an interesting but far from essential addition to his extensive resume, although it's a must for those who have followed Costello's musical peaks and valleys since 1977. But it's far from the first choice you would point Costello neophytes to, for them to enjoy or understand his fascinating, often inspiring and eclectic career arc".

"Throughout his career, Costello has defied easy categorization, and Detour: Live at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall further demonstrates this fact. Drawing from jazz, country, rock, soul, and folk, Costello has created highly personal (and, at times, biting) commentaries in his lyrics. The DVD, Blu-ray, and digital download showcases the artist in a reflective mood, celebrating his past endeavors while suggesting that he is far from retirement".
