After achieving commercial success with the previous triumvirate studio albums (Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, A Passion Play), Jethro Tull drops War Child and was met with a thud by critical response. Without a true thematic connecting link and restoring traditional track length sequences makes the album less captivating as its predecessors. Perhaps the critical reception would have been more positive with a marketing approach more akin to The Who's Odds & Sods, considering War Child is a similar collection of material originally derived from previous studio sessions not included on the intended albums. The reality is that the musicianship is indeed meeting Tull standards and the overall disappointment to the record more indicative of unrealistic expectations.

The second half is better than the first, and Bungle in the Jungle particularly stands out as a good song.
