AllMusic's Jason Kaufman described it as "a perfect example of the simple pop optimism that was everywhere in the middle of the '80s. With tinny, electronic drum kit beats, pseudo-macho guitar solos, cheesy keyboard riffs, and romantic simpleton lyrics on par with 'roses are red, violets are blue,' there's plenty here to offend those who take their songwriting seriously."
