In a review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album three out of five stars, describing it as "a collection of state-of-the-art late-'80s dance-pop." He went on to opine that "While the music isn't as ambitious or provocative as [opening track] "Kiss," most of the album was well-produced and well-crafted".[1]
