The opening riff for the song, played by Gossard, is monolithic, wide, and classically kind of slacker for a grunge anthem. Guitar World lists it among the "Best Riffs of All Time" and calls it a "must know" from the grunge era.
"Alive" was released almost two months ahead of Pearl Jam's debut album, Ten. Although other singles from the album were more successful, "Alive" garnered significant attention to Pearl Jam spent a record-breaking 61 weeks on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.
Critically, "Alive" has remained a hit amongst music experts. Pitchfork said of the song, "'Alive' remains potent not only because Vedder touches on some seriously transgressive shit here (dead fathers, hints at incest, survivor guilt), but mostly because the band rock the hell out of that coda."American Songwriter listed the song at number two of Pearl Jam's entire catalog and the song was listed among the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" by Rolling Stone.
