reception
Achim Karstens, reviewer of the German magazine Rock Hard , wrote about Exposed that it contained “loose, fluffy song material,” was of course “not miles away from the last Mötley album”. He emphasized that Neil and Stevens got along “very well” on the album , and for that reason alone “the album is developing into an extremely party-compatible output.” He concluded that after “Exposed” “even Mötley Crüe would have a hard time” , “ to go one better. ” Karstens awarded 8 out of 10 possible points for the album.
