Rolling Stone said, “The English Beat have an instant-legend aura about them, weaving an eccentric path between black and white, calculation and craziness…The English Beat, especially, are still incubating their most powerful music.”

Eye Weekly said of their 2009 live show, “[The English Beat] launch a fierce rude-boy attack, shifting from lopsided reggae rhythms (“Rough Rider”) to sprightly punk offensives (“Click Click”) to bouncy ska-pop frolics (“Best Friend”).
