The Stranger was well-received by critics, particularly in retrospect, with many considering it to display some of Joel's best-written material. In a contemporary review of the album, Ira Mayer of Rolling Stone deemed it an improvement over Joel's previous studio efforts, praising its musical variety and Ramone's production. [28] In a less enthusiastic review, Village Voice critic Robert Christgau graded the album "B−" and held it slightly above Joel's previous works; speaking specifically of Joel himself, he wrote that the artist had "more or less grown up" with what he considered less egotistical songwriting, and that he is "now as likeable as your once-rebellious and still-tolerant uncle who has the quirk of believing that OPEC was designed to ruin his air-conditioning business". [29] MoFi's pressing is MUCH clearer, it really is like lifting a blanket off the speakers. Billy's voice especially is clear and center and feels like you're listening to him in the booth 5 feet away, not quite in the same room, but it still feels like it's just right there.

The MoFi sounds like it has less compression, which works great for some instruments but affects how some others trail off. A good example is the Saxophone and Flute on Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. The end of the sustained notes seem to decay faster and get lost faster than on the Columbia. I kind of miss them, but I think the rest of the sound is good enough to make up for it.Classifiche". Musica e dischi (in Italian) . Retrieved May 31, 2022. Set "Tipo" on "Album".
