Babylon and On is the seventh album released in September 1987 by the British new wave group Squeeze.

However, despite being pictured and billed as a full member of the band, the track-by-track musician listings included with this album reveal that Metcalfe only played on three songs: "Tough Love", "The Prisoner" and "Some Americans".

Metcalfe left Squeeze before their next album was recorded, although he worked again with Glenn Tilbrook during his solo years.

Chris Woodstra opined Babylon and On to be a "return to the more straight-ahead pop of their classic period".

Although reviewer Chris Woodstra held the album's resurrection of older sounds to be "a welcome one", he opined that the move seemed "forced", despite noting "some moments of inspiration".
