Critical reception
Covering Talk Talk's best songs in an article in The Guardian, Graeme Thomson wrote: "Talk Talk is surging, superior synth-pop, its surface fizz – glistening slabs of electro-drama, funky slap bass and modish cries of "hey, hey!" – sparkling over hidden depths. The piano break has the grandeur of early material from the Waterboys, while the lyrics stake out what will become common themes: existential wariness, a mistrust of language and an overpowering sense of outsiderness."[2]
