    Social Climbers is a valuable document of its time, place, and a reminder of the greatness that might get away.

    The album holds up better than most dustbin acquisitions reissue labels make, but it's not without its limitations - namely, in the way it mixes and matches aesthetics. [No. 81, p. 59]
