#48 in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Albums Of The 80s" survey (November 1989)

Q - 7/01, p.139

5 stars out of 5 - "...A masterpiece....Todd Rundgren-produced SKYLARKING came out bright, beautiful - and sexy in a DH Lawrence style..."

Uncut - p.124

"SKYLARKING is the album that tied up everything great about Swindon's finest into one big beautiful package of perfect pop, saving their career in the process."

CMJ - 1/5/04, p.20

Ranked #1 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1987"

Mojo (Publisher) - p.117

"[T]he band's most perfectly realised LP....With astute songwriting and aural splendour..."
Paste (magazine) - "Thematically the band tackles major life issues like love, marriage and even religion with melodic and lyrical acuity."
Pitchfork (Website) - "SKYLARKING expresses a comic, cosmic apprehension of the natural world -- not the banal site of ready-made tranquility but the arena of psychedelia, godliness, and permanence."
