„White City“, which Pete Townshend called a novel, recalls the depth of „Tommy“. There are many memorable tracks on this collection, including “Hiding Out,” whose deceptive sweetness belies the detached destruction of “Crashing by Design.” The bracing “Face the Face” is as musically gripping as any of Townshend’s solo work, as is the rumbling “Give Blood.” Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour lends on a hand on the former and Big Country drummer Mark Brzezicki puts his walloping stamp on various cuts as well.

After the experimental All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes, Pete Townshend returned to a more traditional form of concept album with White City: A Novel. Built around a loose narrative concerning urban despair, the album doesn’t work very well conceptually, yet a handful of the individual songs are among his finest solo work, including the punchy “Face the Face” and the anthemic “Give Blood.” -AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
