Pete Butter~~field~~Tubz of the Reading Evening Post commented, "Like Harley or not, he's got a heap of talent. This album is as full of ideas as the first stemming wholely from the unique vocal talent."[30] John Falding of the Birmingham Daily Post wrote, "One man who must have been listening to too much Ziggy, and more than a little Dylan, is Steve Harley. The Best Years of Our Lives is a poor pastiche of Bowie a couple of years ago. Harley has made an interesting single but the LP does not match it."[31]

Isn't a guiro the drum with a stick through it that makes a jaunty, squeaky 'vigourously wiping a shammy on a window' sound?
