David Bennun from Melody Maker wrote, "Remember "The Key, the Secret", that mellifluous delight? Envision an album of sweet little dance songs, none of them quite so mellifluous or delightful, but each clutched just as surely in the iron grip of ruthless optimism." [4] Alan Jones from Music Week named the album Pick of the Week, saying, "With a trio of hits under their collective belt, UCC's debut is a Teutonically up beat affair in common with German bands such as Culture Beat and Captain Hollywood Project. Their basic style is a mutant form of hi-NRG, a form which they explore with melodic ease." [2]
