  • Original Album Critical Response

    • "Joel rarely wrote a set of songs better than those on 'The Stranger,' nor did he often deliver an album as consistently listenable." - Allmusic
    • "While Joel's music has always been patently 'American,' 'The Stranger' is, in many ways, a rejection of the American Dream." - Slant
