A year later in 2022, Michael Gallucci placed it at number 10 (out of 29) in Ultimate Classic Rock, while Spin Al Shipley placed it at number 23 (out of 31). Both gave high praise to "Shipbuilding" but found the production becomes overbearing at times. In 2013, NME ranked Punch the Clock at number 345 in its list of "the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". Reissues Punch the Clock was first released on CD through Columbia and Demon in January 1988. Its first extended reissue through Demon in the UK and Rykodisc in the US on CD came on 24 February 1995, which included a slew of bonus tracks and Bubbles' original artwork. Punch the Clock was again reissued by Rhino Records on 9 September 2003 as a two-disc set with additional bonus tracks, totalling 40. The 2003 reissue was positively received. Zimmerman praised the bonus tracks as "perfectly complement[ing]" the originals, even finding the artist's ten solo demos highlight the strength of the songs themselves. Wilde felt the bonus disc "redeemed" the record. It was later remastered and reissued by UMe on 6 November 2015.
