Punknews.org
“Pump it Up,” the album’s second single, spirals the album into a wild party. Its Mod-inspired tempo has Pete and Bruce’s rhythm section stomping and thumping through both the verse and chorus, all the while being held together by Nieve’s carousel-esque keyboarding. […]

PopMatters
Razor sharp slices of neo-garage rock, fueled on amphetamine and Aftermath, quick-witted and tight—and an object lesson that the New Wave could compete on the old school’s field. […]

Pitchfork
To put it another way, Elvis Costello could sing a song about the oppressive and destructive state of his girlfriend and pull it off with wit and talent to spare. […]
