AllMusic[5]

The Ottawa Citizen wrote that "the Caribbean sound of 'C'mon! C'mon!' and the energetic dance number, 'Hit That Perfect Beat', are prime examples of the Bronskis' diverse musical change."[6] The Gazette noted that "the band's gay political stance and dance-floor logic remains intact."[7]
