Young Men Gone West is the third album by British band City Boy.

The New Rolling Stone Record Guide wrote that the album "provided the group's finest, liveliest playing and writing, and made tentative steps toward a unique style.

"[6] In his regular reviews for Truck & Driver magazine, starting a four of five star review, Shaun Connors wrote, "City Boy are probably most known for their 1978 Top 10 single 5.7.0.5. and little else, but there is so much more to this Midlands 1970s proggy-poprock outfit than the one-hit wonder status they are so unfairly labelled with... As two double-CDs, the first four of seven City Boy albums have been reissued by Cherry Red, this offering by far the most accomplished and listenable of the two.

"[7] Note: On American and Canadian issues the two first tracks are in reverse order, i.e. "Bordello Night" before "Dear Jean".

Cherry Red's Lemon Recordings announced in May 2015 plans to reissue City Boy's first four album releases as double CDs with bonus tracks.
