Allmusic.com gave October a 3 star review:

U2 sounded so confident and assured on their debut that perhaps it was inevitable they would stumble slightly on its follow-up, October. The record isn’t weaker than its predecessor because it repeats the formula of Boy. … But when U2 do marry the message, melody, and sound together, as on “Gloria,” “I Threw a Brick Through a Window,” and “I Fall Down,” the results are thoroughly impressive.
