Rolling Stone - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "..though not a masterwork on the order of LONDON CALLING or WAR, LEVELLING THE LAND is rife with the same urgency and indomitability that made those records impossible to ignore.." Uncut - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] showed the Brighton band could translate their folky first steps into the purely pop likes of 'One Way' and 'Fifteen Years'."
