Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "THIS YEAR'S MODEL was the post-punk distillation of the times, especially in its portraits of London.", "...Redefined the quirky troubadour as bilious rocker...For those alienated by his C&W and classical forays, this is a reminder of the black-hearted virtuoisty they fell for in the forst place." - Rating: A+, "His Nastiest and Most Awesome Record...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...THIS YEAR'S MODEL shows the benefits of Costello establishing his own band...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "He delivered a scathing attack on everything from his own status as Next Big Thing to celebrity culture to boy-girl romance itself, all backed with The Attractions' wired intensity.", "...The petulant intensity strikes you first. It's all gall. With his part Dylan, part Lydon, part, ahem, Graham Parker delivery, he was so 'cross'...", Ranked #98 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...The most 'punk' of Costello's records....Costello vs. the world. And Costello wins...", 5 stars out of 5- "...Loosed punk's bilious hyperactivity upon the soul-based virtuosity of pub rock....uncoiling with an intensity Costello rarely equaled afterward...", Ranked #82 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The music is surprisingly lush and pretty....Yet it's all punk rage, thanks to Pete Thomas' drums and Steve Nieve's cranky organ.", 4 Stars Out of 5 -- "It Still Dazzles....His Goggle-Eyed Legacy Remains Inspiring.", Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums"., "Songs like 'pump It Up' and 'radio, Radio' Are As Energetic As Anything in His Catalog...", "...Some of the Most Stinging Songs Ever Committed to Record...', Included in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year"
