Release and acceptance
"I Want to Change the World" is the band's highest charting single. It peaked at number 40 on Billboard Hot 100 in 1971. When released, "I Want to Change the World" is the subject of FM radio and AM, rare for now.
Billy Walker of Sounds writes that "acoustic guitars, vocals echo, and electric guitars build up the tempo with the excellent cold-powered channel by Alvin [Lee], and while nothing new develops it's a very good". Matthew Greenwald of Allmusic highlights Lee's guitar work as "the most expressive - and most tasteful, electric guitar of his career", and adds "if there is one song that can describe the overall vibration of a rival in 1969/1970" This may be very good. The band and Lee never quite match the flexural strength of the song in their endeavors, but this song is quite representative of their amazing artistry. "Robert Christgau is less enthusiastic about Lee's philosophical stance, feels" cautious "and" stupid ":" Fellow practitioners seems to believe that if you taxed the rich to feed the poor, you will soon be rich, with dire consequences. "Christgau then said the lyrics took on a cowardly position that" symbolized the British blues rock political reaction "during the 1970s.
