"The Michigan Daily" on 6 December 1991, had a review of the album by the author Tom Nixon, who believed most of the album was musically similar to "many of the disco hits of the late 1970s". Although he felt that most of the album's songs had "little individuality", and probably used the "same drum machine" and "keyboard arrangement", he noted the "simple, slightly danceable" rhythms. He praised the "crisp" production and highlighted the Black Box remix of "Say It" - which "turns a so-so disco tune into an energetic, '90s-style dance tune." He felt that "What's Good About Goodbye" was the album's "most exciting tune and certainly its most interesting". He concluded: "ABC fans may be disappointed with the band's latest effort".
