On July 23, 1987, Johnson told ZTT that he planned to leave and sign to MCA Records. ZTT filed an injunction to prevent this, as their record contract specified that any member who left the band would remain contracted to ZTT. [32] In court, ZTT argued that the success of Frankie Goes to Hollywood was a result of ZTT's production and marketing and that Johnson had been disruptive and uncooperative. Johnson's team argued that ZTT had been financially irresponsible when recording Liverpool, and that their contract constituted an unreasonable restraint of trade. [32] In 1988, the High Court found in Johnson's favour and the band members were released from their contract. [27] Horn later wrote that his decision to pursue the lawsuit had been "stupid". [30] In May 2014, Johnson announced his first UK solo tour, named "Dancing with No Fear". The seven-date tour was preceded by a new solo album, released on 15 September. [25] The album, titled Europa, was preceded by a lead single, "Follow Your Heart". [26] Mugan, Chris (16 November 2004). "Produced by Trevor Horn, Wembley Arena, London". The Independent .

On 7 May 2023, the original members, including Johnson and Nash, reunited for a concert featuring multiple acts celebrating Liverpool music for the Eurovision Song Contest. [60] They performed one song, "Welcome to the Pleasuredome". [60] It was their first performance together since 1987. [35] The performance drew praise but disappointed those hoping for more songs. [60] [61] [62] The Telegraph gave it three out of five, writing that Johnson remained "a commanding presence" but that the short set was disappointing. [62] The BBC wrote: "Maybe one song is as much time as the five band members can bear to share a stage for—but at least they proved that they and their music can still sound compelling and fresh."

Garcia writing 2.5/5 review for AllMusic considered that "on many accounts, Liverpool can be considered as an improvement over its predecessor", that being shorter duration and almost the same quality of all songs, and "the production is impeccable ... worth a listen if you like the band or have an interest for 80s music—of which this is not such a bad sample".
