than on the fast forward". The Village Voice critic Robert Christgau said that "neither pop nor rock nor disco crossover stays these groghounds from the swift accomplishment of their appointed rounds". Reviewing the 2004 reissue, Mojos Pat Gilbert called If I Should Fall from Grace with God "an amazingly original, democratically written and ethnically adventurous album". AllMusic reviewer Mark Deming considered it "the best album the Pogues would ever make". In 2006, Q placed If I Should Fall from Grace with God at number 37 on its list of the "40 Best Albums of the '80s". The record was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and was ranked number 975 in the 2000 edition of the book All Time Top 1000 Albums.
