It was voted number 400 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).[1] In 2012, the album was ranked number 445 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[2] Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic 4.5/5 stars[3] Christgau's Record Guide B+[4] Rolling Stone (favorable)[5] The Village Voice B−[6] Encyclopedia of Popular Music 4/5 stars[7] Stephen Thomas Erlewine in a retrospective review for AllMusic felt that "the focus brings about his strongest set of songs (both originals and covers), plus a detailed atmospheric production where everything fits." However, he said that "it still can sound fairly dated", but concluded the review by saying that "its best moments [...] are classics of the idiom." Rolling Stone voted it 1976's Best Album. Jay Cridlin of the Tampa Bay Times described "Dance, Dance, Dance" as "the best John Denver song John Denver never recorded".[8]
