The 10 lame tracks ... have the potential to be amusing in a campy way, but Ford ignores the potential of lines like 'Be a beach ball' on 'Beach Bump' and slathers on synthesized whooshes, beeps and overdubs in the hope of being taking seriously."Carey Jean Sound Bites St. Petersburg Times 2 March 1990 Weekend 17 The Observer said that the music ranges from "camp disco to the ambient new age sound."
