Record Collector

I'd Like to See You Again received a mixed-to-favourable response from critics. Trouser Press wrote that the album "suffers from Tilson's absence, and stumbles about, evincing self-consciousness and conservatism in place of the previously aggressive experimental attitude." Record Collector called it "one of their finest albums I'd Like to See You Again is timeless, and ready for a first date with a new generation."
