"All mod cons, in my opinion, is the best Jam album. All the potential that Paul Weller and co. had shown up to now is finally fulfilled on this great record. Weller is now truly into his stride and his songwriting is now approaching classic status. The cover of the Kinks, David Watts, is a respectful nod to Weller's influences, but nothing that Paul writes here pales in comparison to Ray Davies' classic track. Songs such as, down in the tube station at midnight, and, to be someone, are excellent. Weller shows his sensitive side on, English rose, even though he felt slightly embarrassed about it at the time. All mod cons, is a British classic. Excellent."

"Paul Weller breaks away from the rest with this observation of English society/life,love,rock star pitfalls....equaling Costello and Strummer/Jones ...great pop and the band is so tight...Weller was only 20 yrs old at the time"
