Costello's arrangements do deviate a little with "Watching the Detectives." The song progresses with a sort of a reggae beat with heavy bass lines and interspersed guitar cords and a little lead that you could expect in a reggae piece. This is perhaps the second best song on the album. | Costello's arrangements do deviate a little with "Watching the Detectives."

After seeing Costello on ''Saturday Night Live'' I came to the conclusion that if he plans to continue in music he should stick to the studio.

Ten or 15 years ago Costello could have been big but his music lacks the originality and sophistication modern audiences require. You're just too late, Elvis. | Ten or 15 years ago Costello could have been big but his music lacks the originality and sophistication modern audiences require. You're just too late, Elvis. | ||

"In what has been a wonderful year for young British musicians, Elvis Costello has set himself up... as our quirkest newcomer. But don't be deceived by the packaging. Costello's record company may have changed his name, exploited his gawkiness and sold him as the kid anyone can kick sand at, but his music is not a joke." | "In what has been a wonderful year for young British musicians, Elvis Costello has set himself up... as our quirkest newcomer.

LaPeter denies the fact that ''Rolling Stone'' and ''Village Voice'' polls put ''My Aim is True'' in the top five albums of 1977. ''Crawdaddy'' also gave Elvis their new artist award for 1977. | ||
LaPeter's review typifies the conservative view in Florida towards new artists.
