The Trouser Press Record Guide – Fourth Edition (Collier Books, 1991): By Another Green World, Eno was enhancing his work with crystal-clear production. Much of the album features beautiful, fragile instrumentals, leaving the manic rock tone of the first two albums behind. Electronics play a greater role, and Eno all but abandons standard pop forms for a less-formulaic sound that presages his future ambient work.
The A to X of Alternative Music (Continuum, 2004): Another Green World marks the beginning of his more avant-garde ambient work. Nine out of the 14 tracks are instrumentals conceived as soundtracks to imaginary films, and in his own words, 'less personality-based, more evocative of times or places'. The contributions of John Cale, Phil Collins and of course, Robert Fripp, who were all instructed to play, for want of a better word, unusually, makes for the definitive collaboration of musical expertise and technology. As a collection of ambient pieces, it points the way towards his later albums like Music For Airports.
The Rolling Stone Album Guide – Third Edition (Random House, 1992): Eno uses the studio itself as an instrument, molding directed improvisation, electronic effects and pop-savvy melodies into perfectly balanced aural ecosystems like "Sky Saw" or "St. Elmo's Fire". It doesn't even matter if there's a vocal; even the background noises seem tuneful. ★★★★1/2
AllMusic: A universally acknowledged masterpiece. ★★★★★
Pitchfork: The most remarkable thing about Another Green World is how a stoic Englishman who showed no interest in the conventional expression of emotion managed to make something that feels so intensely personal. [10]
Pitchfork (June 14, 2004): And then, Eno is struck by a taxi in 1975, left holding his brains in his hands, and bedridden for almost two months. From his sterile and structured prison comes a patience that will inform two of the most important albums of the decade: Discreet Music and Another Green World.
Rolling Stone: Such a musical adaptation of electronically generated noise, coupled with a steady rock pulse, is a foundation of Another Green World. Mechanical sound is not, of course, new to rock — feedback and synthesizers have been staples for some time. Eno's tack, however, differs by its fuller realization.
