Upon release, Grand Prix received almost unanimous critical acclaim. Writing for The Independent, Andy Gill called it "winsome and reflective",[12] while Angela Lewis of the same publication described Grand Prix as a "breathtakingly superb (album) with finely honed dynamics, nagging harmonies and deceptively simple lyrics".[13] In 2000, Q placed Grand Prix at number 72 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever,[citation needed] It was voted number 624 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums 3rd Edition (2000). [14] In 2004 it made number 72 on The Observer Music Monthly's top 100 British albums list.[15]
