Ranked #98 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...The most 'punk' of Costello's records....Costello vs. the world. And Costello wins..."Rolling Stone - 2/28/02, p.61
5 stars out of 5- "...Loosed punk's bilious hyperactivity upon the soul-based virtuosity of pub rock....uncoiling with an intensity Costello rarely equaled afterward..."Spin - 12/03, p.122
"...Some of the most stinging songs ever committed to record...'Spin - p.102
"His nastiest and most awesome record..."Entertainment Weekly - 2/22/02, p.149
"...Redefined the quirky troubadour as bilious rocker...For those alienated by his C&W and classical forays, this is a reminder of the black-hearted virtuoisty they fell for in the forst place." - Rating: A+Q - 6/00, p.62
Ranked #82 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums"Q - 5/02 SE, p.135

4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t still dazzles....His goggle-eyed legacy remains inspiring."Mojo (Publisher) - 3/02, p.122
"...The petulant intensity strikes you first. It's all gall. With his part Dylan, part Lydon, part, ahem, Graham Parker delivery, he was so 'cross'..."Paste (magazine) - "Songs like 'Pump It Up' and 'Radio, Radio' are as energetic as anything in his catalog..."
