I'm a big fan of WDWTWA but I think that, at the time, we all thought that it suffered a bit from being so similar, structurally, to "Machine Head" - 4 tracks on side 1, 3 on side 2, the second of which was an extended blues workout etc. It drew unfair comparison between the two albums as a result.
Nevertheless, personally, I've always rated it very highly. "Woman From Tokyo" is a fabulous song, as is evident from the fact that it has remained in the live set for so long since the departure of TMIB. Jon, hammering a piano for a change, I just love. There's not a track that is as commercially friendly on MH. "Mary Long" is a fairly straightforward song but doesn't suffer from that fact. "Super Trouper", "Smooth Dancer" and "Rat Bat Blue" have some really interesting song & time structures, to me they are far better songs than "Maybe I'm A Leo" or "Never Before" from MH. "Place In Line" I adore as much as "Lazy" and I really wish that they'd do it live in place of "Lazy" from time to time, perhaps alternating them. I do agree, though, that "Our Lady" sounds a bit like filler and isn't a great album closer. As a big fan (always) of "Painted Horse", I would have loved that to have been on the album (in the same way that it was criminal that "When A Blind Man Cries" was left off MH - but that was the problem, back in the day, with vinyl album lengths and having too much material!).
It's good to see that WDWTWA has some other fans on here. I don't really rate any one of the original Mark II albums any more highly than any other. All four are magnificent to me, even after close on fifty years of play.
