At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, I MIght Be Wrong has an average score of 76 based on 16 reviews, which indicates "generally favourable" reviews.[4]
Several critics felt the album was too short. AllMusic's Sam Samuelson suggested the band could instead have packaged the material with Amnesiac as a "complete Kid A sessions package, rather than a couple of thrown-together releases."[5] Stephen Thompson of The A.V. Club wrote: "Though marred by characteristically unrevealing packaging and inexplicable brevity, I Might Be Wrong casts new light on the band's much-examined recent material."[15] Matt LeMay of Pitchfork felt the length was justified by the performances of "Like Spinning Plates", which showcases Radiohead's "songwriting virtuosity rather than their sonic adventurousness", and "True Love Waits", which is "absolutely gorgeous ... it can hold its own against any song on OK Computer".[2] Entertainment.ie critic Andrew Lynch wrote: "Unlike most live albums, this one captures some of the excitement of actually being there and gives Radiohead back the human dimension they've recently been in danger of losing."[7]
