It’s no wonder the album was critically slandered upon release, suffering from low sales, a ban from various record stores, and little to no radio play.
However, a decade later, the album found the success it so deserved, countless amounts of praise from music critics suddenly showering the album and acknowledging its legendary status. The album’s strong influence gave rise to a new wave of experimental sensibilities in music, with Colin Larkin describing it as a “Powerful Collection” that “Introduced Reed’s decidedly urban infatuations, a fascination for street culture and amorality bordering on voyeurism.”
Today, the album stands at “No. 13 on The Rolling Stone’s "500 Greatest Albums of all Time”, No. 1 on The Observers “Top 50 Albums That Changed Music”, and has racked up an impressive number of 10/10 scores from revered music publications.
It’s no wonder the album is so widely celebrated today, and its well-deserved legendary status only continues to grow as time goes on
