- MojoOct 2, 2025It's stunningly polished new take on their heavy concept album. [Nov 2025, p.98]
- UncutOct 2, 2025Quite a lavish package. It includes some very rough demos from Headley Grange. .... Both the high-water mark of the prog concept album, and the most potent example of the genre's glorious, boundless absurdity. [Nov 2025, p.40]
- Oct 2, 2025While it might be pushing it some to claim it, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is a “weirdly prescient precursor of punk”, as Alexis Petridis suggests in the sleevenotes to this reissue. And there is no doubt as to its influence or longevity. [Oct 2025, p.82]
- Oct 2, 2025The remastering work across the whole album is more subtle than might have been feared in that it does not draw attention to itself, but simply and effectively brings out more clearly than before the (positive) group dynamics and the sonic range. .... The three records are in an attractive tri-fold sleeve, though it would have been good, for such a lavish and correspondingly expensive product, to have the paper inner sleeves for both the studio album and the live one poly-lined.
- Record CollectorOct 3, 2025Of wider interest will be the small handful of demos (although they're hardly revelatory) and a full live show from the subsequent tour. It's here the songs seem less confined, more direct and powerful. .... Lamb... remains an album that relishes its ability to surprise. [Nov 2025, p.99]
