Rezension

Stephen Thomas Erlewine schrieb bei AllMusic: „Even if they don’t get into an album as strong as Voices or Private Eyes, they’re pretty terrific pop in their own right. They’re not just evidence that Hall & Oates’ popularity in the early '80s was earned and well deserved, they hold up very well decades after H2O ruled the charts.“
