Reviews

"All the Young Dudes was the best thing Mott the Hoople ever did... The reason it worked is because David Bowie was at the top of his game as an artist and as a producer." AltRockChick

"The entire band was on a roll here, turning out great performances and writing with vigor. They may not be as sexy as either Bowie or Bolan, but they make up for it with knowing humor, huge riffs, and terrific tunes, dressed up with style by Ziggy himself. No wonder it's not just a great Mott record -- it's one of the defining glam platters." Allmusic
