(Two of Reddy's singles: "I am Woman" and "Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)", had almost reached the UK Top 50 but were performed at the Palladium on in the medley.)

Featuring four additional songs from the singer's past albums: "This Masquerade", "The West Wind Circus", "I'll Be Your Audience" (which served as the concert finale) and "Hold Me in Your Dreams Tonight" (on which Reddy played piano) and also "Candle on the Water" from the 1977 movie Pete's Dragon, Reddy's Palladium set-list also introduced five songs from her upcoming album release We'll Sing in the Sunshine: the title track, the disco track "Ready or Not" issued as UK single the month of the Palladium concert (May 1978), "Mama", "Poor Little Fool", and "Rhythm Rhapsody" - the last-named, which served as the concert's opening number, would in fact be cut from Reddy's We'll Sing in the Sunshine album.

The live recordings of "Mama" and "The West Wind Circus" became the respective A-side and B-side of a single from the album but had no showings on Billboard's pop[7] or Easy Listening[8] charts.

"[9] AllMusic's Joe Viglione wrote retrospectively: "Producers John Palladino and Helen Reddy do a commendable job of capturing so many instruments and vocals and putting them into a wonderful mix.

If so, give a listen to Live in London, which has lost none of its sheen" and stresses that Reddy's "classy renderings of Billy Joel's 'The Entertainer' and Leon Russell's 'This Masquerade' should not be overlooked.
