"''Permission to Land'' will never be the album that The Darkness think it is," decided ''[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]]'', "but, taken in the spirit that it is offered, it's certainly more fun than ''[[Use Your Illusion II|Use Your Illusion]]''."<ref name=":0">{{cite magazine|first=Jon|last=Hotten|author-link=Jon Hotten|title=Black humour|magazine=[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] #56|date=August 2003|page=90}}</ref> In July 2019, [[Decibel Magazine]] inducted ''Permission to Land'' into their Hall of Fame, stating that the album "that came to define hard rock in the early aughts sounds nothing like anything else that was released in 2003 – or the previous decade, for that matter".<ref name="dB HoF">{{cite web |last1=Green |first1=Nick |title=The Darkness – "Permission to Land" |url=https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2019/08/15/the-darkness-permission-to-land/ |website=[[Decibel (magazine)|Decibel]] |date=15 August 2019 |access-date=2019-08-28}}</ref>
