Rolling Stone
Springsteen puts an infectious beat under his songs

BBC
Springsteen’s much-discussed genius lies in finding the humanity in the everyday, punching it out with a grizzled kind of grandeur, and managing it dressed as Mad Max.

his popular triumph, which threw off seven Top Ten hits and became one of the best-selling albums of all time

In my opinion, it's some of the best pop music ever made, and it deserves all the praise and sales it can get.

Entertainment Weekly
The result is both an entertaining account of Springsteen’s marathon race to the top and a reminder that the one thing you can’t run away from is yourself.

Clash Music
Sure, the whole thing is ’80s to the extreme – all bombast and big production, with the exception of ‘I’m On Fire’ – but it doesn’t sound dated.

Anti Music
There's two ways to look at the album; you can let the overt commercialism impact your opinion or look at the album as what it truly is; one of the greatest rock n' roll albums ever made.

Robert Christgau
