Reception[]

Reviewing for Record Mirror, Peter Jones wrote that it was "Definitely a change of style. Away, temporarily perhaps, with the happy old sing-along material and in with something much more thoughtful, more complex, more ambitious all the way round. But there's a strong basic beat anyway, and some of the instrumental gimmickry hits home with impact".[2]
