{^Back to the Egg} is {$Paul McCartney}'s attempt to get back to {\rock & roll} after the {\soft rock} of {^London Town}. Assembling a new lineup of {$Wings}, {$McCartney} leads the group through a set of radio-ready songs, ranging from the {\arena rock} of {&"Old Siam, Sir"} to the {\adult contemporary} {\pop} of {&"Arrow Through Me."} These are two of the more enjoyable moments on an uneven album that's nevertheless of interest to dedicated fans, due to {$McCartney}'s effortless popcraft, as well as the fact that this was the last record {$Wings} ever released. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
