Though this material has been rereleased ad nauseam, Squeeze obsessives will eat it up. For everyone else, it's a reminder that songs like ''Take Me I'm Yours'' have aged surprisingly well.
-
That passionate energy is what makes each song sound so fresh and exciting, even though it's intentionally not new. Difford and Tilbrook are writing for the next Squeeze album, but for now fans can play Spot the Difference.
-
The game at the core of Spot the Difference may be mostly meaningless, but it tricks us into a different kind of comprehension, granting a new face to songs that now no longer seem as stale.
-
Sure, there is nothing new in these tracks, but it is surprising how well the songs stand up after so many years.

UncutDec 20, 2010Impressively artful forgeries all round--but unlikely to appeal beyond their diehard following. [Dec 2010, p.105]
-
While this hardly supplants those originals, Spot the Difference is a fun spin for the devoted and a good advertisement for Squeeze's reunion tour, proving they still have the knack to entertain.

You can't really go wrong with such great material, but this cynical ploy to sell an oldies tour is completely superfluous.
