Rolling Stone - 12/11/03, p.126
Ranked #126 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "[A] New Wave masterpiece....REMAIN IN LIGHT marked Talking Heads' transformation from avatars of the punk avant-garde to polyrhythmic magicians with hit-single appeal."

Rolling Stone - 11/13/03, p.101
5 stars out of 5 - "...The band no longer sounded twitchy and overcaffeinated; it made music that was confident and fluid. The Heads had already mastered minimalist funk, but here they built jams around thick, slurred rhythms..."
