Originally Released: 1995
Label: Polygram UK

Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 7/13-7/27/95, pp.109-110

3 Stars - Good - "...a singer/songwriter album recorded live in the studio, and...seems powered by the painful self-consciousness of a person whose exterior bid for success rubs against his interior battle to meet his own moral standards....Weller's work supplies the connecting link between several generations of British rock and soul."

Entertainment Weekly - 7/21/95, p.64

"...rocks harder than its predecessor, while retaining its solid songwriting and surefooted '70s-style funk." - Rating: A-

Q - 2/96, p.63

Included in Q's 50 Best Albums of 1995 - "...blending its obvious but welcome retro influences with the hard-won maturity of a songwriter in his prime..."

Uncut - p.120

4 stars out of 5 - "[I]t's the warmth of STANLEY ROAD itself which ultimately merits this lavish repackaging and ensures it a high-ranking place in the Weller canon."

Mojo (Publisher) - p.55

Ranked #86 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "More affecting than anything he's ever done. Like The Style Council never happened."

NME (Magazine) - 12/23-30/95, pp.22-23

Ranked #25 in NME's 'Top 50 Albums Of The Year' for 1995 - "...his most honest, heartfelt and mature album to date....He rocks like Lennon in a cello factory..."
