The album's sound was more accomplished than on the band's debut album Pop Said.... The arrangements were lush, and with tracks like "Tiny Machine" clocking in at just under six minutes, the song lengths were relatively epic compared to the two-minute average on Pop Said....

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "Some now-tired Blondie-isms remain, but this fine sophomore effort is mostly a forward-looking, groove-heavy delight."[4] The Tampa Bay Times called it "full of swirly, danceable melodies and infectious drumbeats."[5] Spin deemed it "guitar-driven girl pop at its very finest."[6]
