In the June 1997 issue of "Mojo" magazine, Jon Savage included "Strawberry Fields Forever" in his list "Psychedelia: The 100 Greatest Classics" and wrote: "When this first came on radio in early 1967, it sounded like nothing else, with its wracked vocal, out-of-tune brass section and queasy strings." In 2004, "Rolling Stone" ranked the track at number 76 on its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time", a placing the song retained in the magazine's 2011 "definitive" list. On a similar list compiled by "Q" in 2006, it appeared at number 31. In 2010, "Rolling Stone" placed "Strawberry Fields Forever" at number 3 on its list of the "100 Greatest Beatles Songs". It was ranked as the second-best Beatles song by "Mojo" in 2006, after "A Day in the Life". The song was estimated to be the 23rd most celebrated song of all time by Acclaimed Music.
