- Broken Base: The 2017 Remix Album is a major point of contention among fans. Some agree with the critical consensus of it vastly improving upon the original 1979 mix, some view it as a mess that took away a lot of what made the '79 version work, and some simply view it as So Okay, It's Average.
- Critical Dissonance: The 2017 Remix Album was acclaimed by critics, who lauded it as a major improvement over the original mix. Among fans, however, it's much more divisive.
- Tough Act to Follow: Even after having been thoroughly Vindicated by History, fans and analysts tend to agree that Lodger is a somewhat lackluster follow-up to the hidden experimental gem Low and the consistently praised "Heroes", in part due to its Lighter and Softer direction and general lack of adherence to much of the same tropes as the other two albums in the Berlin Trilogy. It's seen as a good album, but most won't deny that it pales in comparison to its far better-remembered predecessors.
- Vindicated by History: The album wasn't as successful as Low or "Heroes", and like Low was critically unpopular. While it's not as influential or beloved as the previous, it is still now considered one of Bowie's most underrated albums, anticipating both the worldbeat boom and Bowie's own pop success in The '80s.
