Critical reception
Template:Album ratings AllMusic editor John Lucas rated the album four out of five stars. He noted Alive was "notably less club-oriented than its predecessors, instead aiming for a modern pop sound" and called it her by "far her strongest, lacking the filler that weighed down her first two. Indeed almost any of the 13 tracks could have been strong singles in their own right, something that could certainly not have been said of Different or Stronger [...] All in all, Alive is an underrated set."[1]
Chart performance
Alive debuted at number 45 on the Flemish Albums Chart and eventually peaked at number 13 in its third week of release.[2] It marked a return to the top 20 after Ryan's previous album Stronger (2004) had reached the top 30 in the region only.[2] In Germany and Switzerland, where Stronger had peaked at number 13, Alive underperformed, only reaching number 73 in both countries.[3] [4]
