Reception

Writing for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the albums proves "they did do some good new nomantic [sic] synth pop" and that the album "contain[s] all of the group's best material...while new wave fetishists will likely go for the actual albums anyway, most listeners will be more than satisfied with this."[1]
