Reception edit
A Perth newspaper in 1984 said "Watch the World set the standards for Australian albums last year through its fine production and engineering. The band suddenly found itself being watched by the world as the heroes became more than your average Oz pub band."
Robert Vella said "Watch the World is an album of greater substance and less obvious commercial intent. It's not that the accessibility is missing, it's just that it is more strategically placed."[1]
