Reviews"...A Classic of the Decade...", 4 Stars Out of 5-"...The Great Teenage F***-Up Record of the Eighties...", 8 out of 10 - "...LET IT BE is elegiac, quietly tragic and romantically bombed-out....Healthy cynicism still lingers, albeit wiser and more weary...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The songs are breathless paeans to romance and dissatisfaction, and deserve to be discovered by generations to come.", "...One of the Most Awesome Wedges of Wild and Dangerous Rock 'N' Roll Ever Committed to Disc...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The quantum leap in Westerberg's self-confidence in delivering such emotionally bruised material as 'Unsatisfied' and 'Answering Machine' ensures the record's indelible impact.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The album captures the perfectly turned punk-pop bravado, the bleeding-heart letters-in-a-bottle, and the proud junk food.", Ranked #15 in Rolling Stone's "100 Best Albums of the 80's" Survey., Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century, 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...LET IT BE is their finest work. No American alternative act made a better album in 1984...", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...It was Westerberg's most mature songwriting so far, and his band's tightest playing. The boyish tomfoolery is still there....Best of all is 'Unsatisfied,' a yearning evocation of adolescent dissatisfaction...", Included in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year"
