“Reviewing for The Village Voice in 1977, Robert Christgau said that while "a debut LP will often seem overrefined to habitues of a band's scene", the more he listened to the album the more he believed "the Heads set themselves the task of hurdling such limitations", and succeeded with 77:

Like Sparks, these are spoiled kids, but without the callowness or adolescent misogyny; like Yes, they are wimps, but without vagueness or cheap romanticism. Every tinkling harmony is righted with a screech, every self-help homily contextualized dramatically, so that in the end the record proves not only that the detachment of craft can coexist with a frightening intensity of feeling—something most artists know—but that the most inarticulate rage can be rationalized. Which means they're punks after all.[25]

Talking Heads: 77 was voted the year's seventh best album in The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop critics' poll.[26]

In 2003, the album was ranked No. 290 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time",[27] and 291 in a 2012 revised list.[28]”
