Trouser Press May 18, 2016 Reviewing in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau said: "Just about all of these dense, cleverly constructed tunes would sound great on the radio. If they have some other reason for being, though, neither lyrics nor vocals—which seem to avoid both banality and its opposite as a simple matter of power pop taste—let on what it is. When CBS breaks a few hits off this we'll remember it as a classic. But CBS won't."
