Television Marquee Moon was a commercial flop but is considered one of hte highlights of the 70s these days.
It was also widely received as a masterpiece and the foundational album of a new form of music -- punk rock. Critics fell over themselves to fellate this album (and it is pretty awesome). It was incredibly well-received for an album released by a bunch of heroin addicts in an insular art music scene unknown outside of NYC at the time.

Well I wasn't listening to music in 1977, so i can't comment on critical reception.
but I do know that it wasn't a big success until the 80s.
Also, I do find that critics often say they said nice things about obscure albums, when in fact, they don't.

Marquee Moon has been on top 100 album lists since the 80s.
Villiage Green is as well but at the time of its initial release it was certainly out of step with the counterculture 60s. It celebrates and mythologized the past.
