And, hell, it’s commendable that this talented eccentric still has the nerve to be his own surly self.

All Music
Songs in the Attic is an excellent album, ranking among his very best work.

Ultimate Classic Rock
Songs in the Attic did exactly what it set out to do: "provide a selected sampling of the earlier stuff, played the right way — with honest road muscle." Taste is subjective and your mileage may vary, obviously, but it remains arguably Joel's defining statement as a concert performer.

Songs In The Attic is one of the better live albums in my collection and compares favorably with his studio output. The production by Phil Ramone is flawless which is rare for a live release. Simply put it is highly recommended.

The Vinyl Press
It is an impressive listen, with a great roster of songs- the kind of songs that seem to draw people into my listening room from other areas of the house when this record gets played.

One Final Serenade
It was a way to showcase the songs from his earlier albums which probably had not received the airplay and production they deserved. It was an inspired and brilliant idea.

People
Overall, the 11 offerings on the LP provide growing evidence that Billy’s body of work has flexibility and amazing durability.

In The 80s
This album epitomizes all of Billy Joel's nonreleased songs which, in my opinion, are better than the ones that were released.
