AllMusic[1]
Kerrang![2]

Due to scheduling conflicts this is the first album the band did not use Bruce Fairbairn as their producer.[3] Tom Allom was hired as a replacement.

Cash Box said of the single "Lead a Double Life" that "Loverboy’s trademark straightforward pop/rock angle is given a slight 'new music,' Devo-ish bent here."[4] Billboard said it borrows "aggressive mannerisms from the new wave."[5]
