Critical reception

Cashbox magazine wrote "This latest collection from the Australian duo of Vanda & Young is a typical collage of novelty-effects synth pop which oozes melodic hooks and eclecticism. While many of the tunes recall classic rock cliches, Flash and the Pan always come up with a way of making them sound original. Distinctly orchestral pieces such as 'Barking At the Moon' and the energised 'Early Morning Wake-Up Call' are the highlights here on an album which will certainly arouse enthusiasm in new music circles."[1]
