We prove several Liouville type results for stationary solutions of the $d$-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In particular, we show that when the dimension $d ≥ 4$, the natural requirements $\rho \in L^{\infty} ( \mathbb{R}^d )$, $v \in \dot{H}^1 (\mathbb{R}^d)$ suffice to guarantee that the solution is trivial. For dimensions $d=2,3$, we assume the extra condition $v \in L^{\frac{3d}{d-1}}(\mathbb R^d)$. This improves a recent result of Chae [1].
