AllMusic	^[3]

In his retrospective review for AllMusic, Greg Adams said the band's own songs on Weekend in London "vacillate between the pretty Beatlesque pop of 'Your Turn to Cry' and moody rockers similar to early Zombies" and that as the band released three albums around that time, "Weekend in London sounds like they were being stretched a little too thin."^[3]
