Trouser Press, comparing the album to the band's debut, wrote that it "removes any trace of oddness and fails to deliver the cleverness that would have redeemed it."[5]
AllMusic deemed the album "potent power-pop, fueled by glistening guitar chords, hummable melodies, Todd Rundgren-ish vocals, and Gus Dudgeon's crystal clear production."[4]
