Critical reception

Scandipop called the highlights "Gimme Your Love", "247365" and the duo's cover of "Wicked Game", also writing: "If it's purely new bops you're after though – then 'Love Flow' and 'Die for You' lead the pack. The former for sounding like it could have been featured on Michael Jackson's Invincible album, and the latter for its homage to house music." [1]
