and less memorable than their previous efforts. Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly found that although the album "hits hard", "the boyish energy of their early work is still missed." Dorian Lynksey of The Word was also mixed, stating that "an overload of hyper-chiselled lyricism and a touch too much of yer manly riff-rock." NME named the album cover, an artwork free cream monochrome after the styling of the Beatles' White Album, as one of the worst in history. Retrospectively, reviewers have typically placed Suck It and See in the middle-low tier in rankings of the band's studio albums. In 2015, NME ranked Suck It and See fourth of the band's five albums up to that point. Lisa Wright writes that the album displayed a variety of styles that "showed a band absolutely in control of what they were doing and one that could bend ideas and genres to fit to their own shape." In 2018, Consequence of Sound ranked Suck It and See fourth of the band's six albums up to that point. Sarah Midkiff states: "While experimental, it's a distillation of their previous works, emerging stylistically confident in their choices." The same year, the album was given the same ranking by the Evening Standard, with Harry Fletcher stating that although the record lacked strong singles and "standout moments", he gave praise to Turner's lyrics, calling them some of his finest up to that point.
