In Canada, the band is remembered for several hits, including "California Jam" (1974), " Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" (1976) and "Knee Deep in Love" (1980). "Calling Occupants" backed with " Sub-Rosa Subway" was a minor double-sided hit and their only chart entry, peaking at No. 62 in 1977. Internationally, the group's pop-influenced blend of rock styles has led to them being known as the "Canadian Beatles". Klaatu's combination of pop and progressive rock has often been compared to the Beatles, and sometimes to the guitar-rock of Queen, and the electronic music of Wendy Carlos. British music magazine Shindig! praised the band's "otherworldly brand of progressive pop". Publications such as Pitchfork have described the group as the "Canadian Beatles". Their first and most successful album 3:47 EST showcased progressive rock and psychedelic pop, while subsequent albums such as Sir Army Suit featured a pop rock sound.
