Allmusic.com gave Permanent Waves a 4 1/2 star review:
Since Neil Peart joined the band in time for 1975’s Fly by Night, Rush had been experimenting and growing musically with each successive release. By 1980’s Permanent Waves, the modern sounds of new wave (the Police, Peter Gabriel, etc.) began to creep into Rush’s sound, but the trio still kept their hard rock roots intact. …Permanent Waves is an undisputed hard rock classic, but Rush would outdo themselves with their next release.
