Kevin Godley, Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart have subsequently referred to Sheet Music as 10cc's zenith throughout their career. George Durbalau in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die felt it was "a piece of well-crafted, highly idiosyncratic pop" and was "in a word, inventive". Legacy ĭave Thompson, in a summary of the album for Allmusic, felt that it had staying power and that it was "perhaps the most widely adventurous album of what would become a wildly adventurous year". Billboard felt the band had a "certain zany feeling", but that "their songs are far from silly when carefully listened to" and they had "some of the most innovative vocal techniques and instrumental arrangements around".

Reception Professional ratings Review scoresĬharley Walters in his 1974 Rolling Stone review felt that the band had "concocted standard pop into their own inventive, even sophisticated, art", and that while not typical pop music it would be popular with AM-oriented DJs and their listeners. The album in its entirety-including all of the bonus cuts from the 1993 release and the 2007 release-appears, along with 10cc's first album 10cc and all its released bonus cuts, on 10cc - The Complete UK Recordings on Varèse Sarabande Records. The most recent version is 2007 UK reissue which combines only Sheet Music related bonus tracks. The album was reissued several times with different b-sides from the 10cc and Sheet Music singles as bonus tracks.

The third single " Silly Love" made #24 in the UK. The lead single "The Worst Band in the World" failed to chart, while the follow up " The Wall Street Shuffle" made #10 in the UK and #2 in the Netherlands. Three singles were taken from the album, all of them released in 1974. The subject of the song "Clockwork Creep", which ends side one of the album, is a bomb aboard a jumbo jet describing the final minute in its countdown to detonation. Graham Gouldman remarked how the band used Paul's drum kit for their album, and how Paul's influence was certainly felt while making the record. While 10cc were recording their album during the night, Paul McCartney was using the Strawberry Studios in the daytime to produce his brother Mike's album McGear. Lots of excitement and energy at those sessions and, more important, an innocence that was open to anything." We were buzzing on each other and exploring our joint and individual capabilities. In a 2006 interview, ex-drummer Kevin Godley said: "We'd really started to explode creatively and didn't recognise any boundaries. It includes all possible combinations of co-writing duos between Stewart, Gouldman, Godley and Creme, which the band used to experiment and explore new creativity while making the album. The album was produced by 10cc, engineered and mixed by Eric Stewart.
