Included in Q's 50 Best Albums of 1995 - "...a latter-day classic..."

Ranked #3 on Melody Maker's list of 1995's 'Albums Of The Year.'
"...as exciting and chock-full of insta-classics as their wake-up call of a debut....Clever production tricks and chord changes are [Noel] Gallagher's passions. His lyrics flit between inane and ingenious...but every last one fits snug as a puzzle..."
