Internet music portal the Daily Music Guide reviewed the album, scoring it 3/5 and commenting on the number of influences audible in the songs from Wham to Jeff Wayne and plenty in between, remarking that "the overriding sense of fun that permeated their first release is still present, but instead of that girl-band of the 1950s/60s feel it's been replaced by something altogether more 1980s sounding."
The Independent called it a "cracking pop record", while PopMatters gave it an average 6/10 review.
