Content
I Might Be Wrong comprises live performances recorded on Radiohead's 2001 tour.[1] It features songs from Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001),[1] plus a solo performance of another song, "True Love Waits", by the singer, Thom Yorke, on acoustic guitar.[2]
As Radiohead had developed Kid A and Amnesiac through studio experimentation,[3] they rearranged the songs to perform them live. For example, the electronic track "Like Spinning Plates" was rearranged as a piano ballad.[4] The guitarist Ed O'Brien said: "You couldn't do Kid A live and be true to the record. You would have to do it like an art installation ... When we played live, we put the human element back into it."[5] The drummer, Philip Selway, said Radiohead "found some new life" in the songs when they came to perform them.[5]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, I Might Be Wrong has an average score of 76 based on 16 reviews, indicating "generally favourable reviews".[6]
The 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."[9] Stephen Thompson of The A.V. Club wrote that the album "cast new light" on Kid A and Amnesiac.[17] The Rolling Stone critic Jonah Weiner described it as "explosively raw", praising the "twisty, insular" performance of "Idioteque" and Yorke's "beautifully chilling" vocals on "Like Spinning Plates".[18] Matt LeMay of Pitchfork also praised "Like Spinning Plates", saying it showcased Radiohead's "songwriting virtuosity rather than their sonic adventurousness", and "True Love Waits", which he said was "absolutely gorgeous ... It can hold its own against any song on OK Computer."[4]
Several critics felt the album was too short. Thompson found it was "marred by characteristically unrevealing packaging and inexplicable brevity".[17] Sam Samuelson of AllMusic suggested it could instead have been packaged with Amnesiac as a "complete Kid A sessions package, rather than a couple of thrown-together releases".[7] LeMay criticised the lack of older Radiohead songs, and said the album had the feeling of a "promotional item" for Kid A and Amnesiac.[4]
