Released in 1977 upon Polydor Records, the album reached No. 20 in the UK Albums Chart.[1] The album features the band's debut single and title track "In the City".[2][3] In addition, the album includes two cover versions, "Slow Down"[4] and the theme to the 1960s television series, Batman, the latter of which had also been previously covered by The Who, The Kinks and Link Wray.[5] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[6] |rev2 = Christgau's Record Guide |rev2Score = A–[7] | rev3 = Encyclopedia of Popular Music | rev3Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[8] | rev4 = Pitchfork | rev4Score = 8.5/10[9] | rev5 = Q | rev5Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[10] | rev6 = The Rolling Stone Album Guide | rev6Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[11] | rev7 = Spin Alternative Record Guide | rev7Score = 8/10[12] | rev8 = The Village Voice | rev8Score = A−[13] }} Upon the album's release, In the City received all-round positive reviews. Phil McNeil from the NME stated Weller's songwriting "captures that entire teen frustration vibe with the melodic grace and dynamic aplomb of early Kinks and Who". Brian Harrigan of Melody Maker was equally impressed, proclaiming that "Weller composed songs are anything but an embarrassment, he has a deft touch that places his material on a much higher plateau". In the Record Mirror, Barry Cain opined: "Armed and extremely dangerous The Jam stalk the decrepit grooves. If you don't like them, hard luck they're gonna be around for a long time. It's been a long time since albums actually reflected pre-20 delusions and this one does". Weller's guitar style on the album is influenced by Pete Townshend and Wilko Johnson.[14] Track listing{{Track listing| all_writing = Paul Weller, unless otherwise noted. | headline = Side one | title1 = Art School | length1 = 2:02 | title2 = I've Changed My Address | length2 = 3:31 | title3 = Slow Down | note3 = Larry Williams | length3 = 2:39 | title4 = I Got By in Time | length4 = 2:07 | title5 = Away from the Numbers | length5 = 4:03 | title6 = Batman Theme | note6 = Neal Hefti | length6 = 1:31 }}{{Track listing | headline = Side two | title1 = In the City | length1 = 2:19 | title2 = Sounds from the Street | length2 = 3:14 | title3 = Non-Stop Dancing | length3 = 2:28 | title4 = Time for Truth | length4 = 3:10 | title5 = Takin' My Love | length5 = 2:15 | title6 = Bricks and Mortar | length6 = 2:37 | total_length = 32:02 }} Personnel
