I don't think that RWH is at the same level of SICP and the other masterpieces of programming language theory: CTM and TAoP (The Art of Prolog).
RWH is just a good Haskell book teaching people how to do practical things with the language, but it doesn't have the intention of reaching the level of conceptualism and abstraction that the books I've mentioned achieve.
In fact, I think that RWH is not a good book for learning Haskell unless you're a Java programmer. It's mainly written for that audience. In case you come from Lisp or even Ruby or Python I'd strongly recommend A Gentle Introduction to Haskell (http://www.haskell.org/tutorial/).
It's been the officious Haskell tutorial since 1998. It's short, free and written by very relevant members of the Haskell community.
