Critical reception

[edit]

The song has received mixed reviews.Allmusic described the song as rolling with "layered guitars", with McCulloch experimenting vocally for a "rough-edged spiral of psychedelics and '60s pop flair" and chose the song as an AMG pick from theFlowers album.[3] CanEhdian.com described the single as having "both the style and beat that seems to be needed for commercial success".[4]NME was less positive, describing it as "a dead-on pastiche of the swirling, Doors-y acid rock" and "not a great song".[5]

Cover versions

Acover version of "It's Alright", performed byBombones, is included on the 2005 Spanish tribute albumPlay the Game: Un Tributo a Echo & the Bunnymen.[6]
