Production

The album was produced by Nick Launay.[14] The cover portrays angels gathered around a cartoon dog (god spelled backward).[15]

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote that "Byrne has finally figured out how to make the wacky Pan-American dance album he's been after since the mid-1980's."[16] The Guardian deemed Uh-Oh "the most Talking-Heads-esque of Byrne’s solo albums, albeit with a Latin-American influence."[17] The Washington Post thought that Byrne's "yelps, which range from intentionally comic to comically arty, rarely dominate their rhythmically dense, albeit melodically bland, settings."[18] The Orlando Sentinel wrote that the "Afro-Brazilian influences are more fully integrated now than on 1989's Rei Momo."[19]

The track A Million Miles Away was used as the theme song of the TV show Flying Blind.
