reception
The album has a Metascore of 78 on Metacritic (as of January 25, 2020).
In Germany radio culture Marcel Anders says:
“The ten pieces offer the typical“ Pet Shop Boys ”mix of synth pop, disco and bombast. Eminently versatile, with an extremely powerful, dynamic sound and a strong 80s vibe. A convincing album to chill out and celebrate for everyone who just wants to escape the real world for three quarters of an hour. "
