Análisis (en inglés) - Amazon.com :
At times more ear-rending than the much maligned Goodbye Cruel World--thank the blaring horns, which augment an uneven bunch of songs--Punch the Clock nonetheless has its great moments. The searing political statements "Shipbuilding" and "Pills and Soap" are obvious high points (as is Chet Baker's solo on the former), while on the poppier side "Everyday I Write the Book" is sweetly distressed, "Let Them All Talk" definitively defiant, and "The World and His Wife" high-level sneering wordplay. At least a couple of the bonus tracks in Rykodisc's edition, though, trump some of the original Clock's weaker cuts. --Rickey WrightAnálisis de usuario (en inglés) - 1999-05-03
- An underrated Costello albumI think "Punch The Clock" is the most underrated Costello albums. Yes, it's probably one of his most commercial sounding release, but, so what ? "Shipbuilding" is just an amazing song. The sound is fresh and young. It has been my summer album for about 5 years now.

- Perfect Pop!Elvis releases too many albums, and as a result, half of his albums are mediocre. For my money, this is one of his top 3. (The only one I might rate higher is Imperial Bedroom.) Punch The Clock is pop at its best: catchy melodies/lyrics, good grooves, upbeat tempos, and well constructed song forms. It's a fun album with substance--what all pop music should aspire to be.

- UnderratedThis is one of my favourite Elvis Costello albums, full of clever two and a half minute pop songs that EC has sadly found impossible to put in less than six minutes since !
Yes, it is overproduced, but I challenge anyone not to be uplifted by the opening track, "Let them all Talk", which to me is EC's most underrated pop song ever
There are plenty of EC albums for misery, but for pop pleasure, this is his best.

- Plenty Of PunchElvis was releasing so much music at this point in his career but for us fans it was a joy to listen to his genius. This is kind of a varied release with his most obvious hit single ("Everyday I Write The Book"), Some horn-laden pop raves ("Let Them All Talk", TKO (Boxing Day)" & "The World and His Wife")and serious songs ("Pills & Soap", "Shipbuilding"). A mixed bag that offers a little of something in various Costello styles over the years, has to be considered one of his best.

- Upbeat but still has biteThis is an interesting Costello recording. Some of his most upbeat and joyous tunes are to be found here, songs like "The Greatest Thing" with its "Bo Diddley beat" and Everyday I Write the Book," just seem to bounce off the CD with a sense of fun and unbridled happiness that I find to be infectious. The CD has the usual lyrical agility that you would expect to find in a Costello recording but the overall feeling is more positive than normally found on his recordings. This is not to say the dark side never rears its head, check out "Pills and Soap." But the overall effect is a welcome breath of fresh air and while I don't think it ranks with Costello's best, PUNCH THE CLOCK is just a bit more fun than most of his stuff.
