On Rhythm Romance, the Romantics had moved further away from their power pop roots towards more mainstream rock. [3] In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Chris Woodstra opined that the band had become "full-fledged arena rockers complete with a big ultraslick production... and an utterly forgettable batch of songs." [2]
Trouser Press called it "another likably dumb batch of pop songs culminating in a credibly rootsy version of "Poison Ivy." [4]
All tracks written by Wally Palmar, Coz Canler and Mike Skill, except where noted.
