Nitsuh Abebe of Allmusic, who had lauded the band's previous work, did not appreciate the stylistic change of Stop the Sun, I Want to Go Home. He gave it two and a half out of five stars, concluding that while the music did not compare with the band's early catalog, the album contained enough flair to keep it interesting. [1] On the other hand, critics of the Trouser Press felt it was band's greatest accomplishment and that cited "Better" as the high point of the album and the band's career. [2]
All music is composed by Donna Croughn & John Hamilton, except "Everybody's in the Park " and "It's Really a Happening" co-written by Dave Dreiwitz.

Indie pop is a music genre and subculture that combines guitar pop with DIY ethic in opposition to the style and tone of mainstream pop music. It originated from British post-punk in the late 1970s and subsequently generated a thriving fanzine, label, and club and gig circuit. Compared to its counterpart, indie rock, the genre is more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst-free. In later years, the definition of indie pop has bifurcated to also mean bands from unrelated DIY scenes/movements with pop leanings. Subgenres include chamber pop and twee pop.
