| AllMusic |   [1] |
| Trouser Press | (favourable) [2] |
Trouser Press called it "a very solid LP, if no challenge to the Chameleons' general brilliance (inventive guitarists Dave Fielding and Reg Smithies are greatly missed)", [2] while AllMusic described it as "an intelligent, gripping concept album that easily outshines [The Chameleons'] body of work". [1]
All tracks are written by The Sun and the Moon (Mark Burgess, Andy Clegg, John Lever and Andy Whitaker).
