Dandy in the Underworld was regarded by critics as a comeback for the band. It was praised for the strength of the songwriting and Bolan's vocal performances. However, it would prove to be the band's final album, as Marc Bolan died in a car crash in September 1977 at the age of 29. In 2006, an album of alternative versions and unreleased tracks called Final Cuts was released.
