Critical Reception
Greg Prato of Allmusic stated in his review of Rush that the album was weaker than some of Rush's later albums, such as Hemispheres and Moving Pictures, because Neil Peart was not yet a part of the band. He finished his review by saying that "While longtime Rush fans can appreciate their debut because they never returned to this style, newcomers should stick with their classics from later years."

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“If our entertainment culture seems debased and unsatisfying, the hope is that our children will create something of greater worth. But it is as if we expect them to create out of nothing, like God, for the encouragement of creativity is in the popular mind, opposed to instruction. There is little sense that creativity must grow out of tradition, even when it is critical of that tradition, and children are scarcely being given the materials on which their creativity could work”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
