AllMusic | [1] |
Smash Hits | 8/10[2] |
AllMusic has retrospectively been generally favourable towards the album, stating that the band "blend socially conscious lyrics of life under Thatcher with smooth, slickly programmed pop-soul arrangements" and concluding that the record was "a solid debut with very few filler tracks".[1]
All tracks written and composed by Henry Priestman except where noted.
