;The Sinceros
Trouser Press praised the Sinceros for creating "two great tracks — a quirky bit of silliness called 'Take Me to Your Leader' and a Joe Jackson soundalike, 'Little White Lie'..." but expressed little enthusiasm for the album as a whole, saying that other than those two songs, "it's an amiable pop record with little character".
