Live 2012 is the collective name for the official documentation of the Mylo Xyloto Tour, performed, recorded and released by British alternative rock band Coldplay.

Herald Sun's Cameron Adams commented that "this is the exact show Coldplay are in the midst of charming our country with – wristbands, hits, banter, yoga moves and all.

[14] He also commended the track listing, as "Their biggest hits ('Paradise', 'Viva la Vida', 'Fix You') sit nicely with their more subversive ones ('Violet Hill', 'Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall')".

[14] Sarah Milton of The Upcoming stated that "This release of their previous and current work defines their unstoppable prowess by taking tracks to a personal level with their fans.

[16] In a less enthusiastic review, James Atherton from Drowned in Sound mentioned that Coldplay are "really nice", but "their output is often too sanitised to make the jump from good to great", with the first track on Live 2012 seemingly reinforcing the sentiment.

[13] Adam Silverstein wrote a defensive review on Digital Spy, saying that the film/album was pulled off well amidst mixed reputation, writing "One (thankfully first-class) collab with a popstar and an appearance on The X Factor later, however, and they almost fucked their rep... Chris Martin bawling backing vocals to the Little Mix girls would have been uglier than Javier Bardem toothless in Skyfall, yet that's all it would have taken".

Silverstein felt the film reveals the "ridiculous effort that goes in to each and every concert", and "skillfully showcases just how incredible an adventure it is to observe a world-beating band at the top of their game.

[18] In 2013, Coldplay were nominated in the Foreign Classic Pop Rock Album of the Year category at the Hungarian Music Awards for the audio release part of the project.

[20] All songs written by Coldplay's songwriting members Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Chris Martin.
