"It took a while, but now, at the thirtieth anniversary of the release of Pixies mini-LP Come on Pilgrim and debut LP proper Surfa Rosa a year later, these records legendary status has been more than certified. While their second full-length, Doolittle (1989) is generally accepted to be the band's masterpiece, there is a raw energy about the band's first two releases which had to be distilled to create that album's refined majesty, which for some at least, gives them the edge".

"To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Surfer Rosa's 1988 release, 4AD collected the album and its predecessor, the mini-album Come on Pilgrim, as Come on Pilgrim... It's Surfer Rosa. Both works still sound great: Pixies' essential sound (...) arrives fully formed on Come on Pilgrim, which remains one of the band's most consistent (and underrated) releases. On Surfer Rosa, Steve Albini's production adds a muscular edge that makes Pixies' harshest moments seem even more menacing and perverse, yet every blazing piece of punk is balanced by softer, poppier moments that uphold its status as one of the most compulsively listenable college rock albums of the '80s".
