Ranked #62 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...Suddenly, you can see why Lennon was dissatisfied with the Abbey Road sessions..."
4 stars out of 5 - "...There is no better solo Lennon or solo Beatles album..."
5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he most profound and perfectly realised confessional album that rock'n'roll has produced."

"...Exactly what was on his mind....It was, and remains, an extraordinary album. No rock singer could sound as simultaneously warm and as acerbic as Lennon..."
8 out of 10 - "...It's his starkest and best post-Beatles work....This is a lingering, slow-motion peer into the crater of the man's soul..."
