reception
Leslie Matthew from Allmusic described the album as a “pop pearl” with only a few “fillers”: “Room Service is an exciting, immediate, high-gloss pop gem that contains very little filler indeed.” It is the best album since Joyride . He gave 3 out of 5 stars. Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian criticized the lyrics: "As ever, singer Marie Fredriksson is the brittle focal point, compelling yet curiously unengaged as she tries to negotiate Per Gessle's lyrics."

Singles
The released singles were not very successful, with The Center of the Heart still reaching number 1 in Sweden, with number 13 in Finland, number 21 in the Flemish charts, number 43 in Italy and number 74 in the Netherlands, but no other top ten Made placements. The second release Real Sugar only barely made it into the German and Swiss charts. Even in home Sweden, the title clearly missed the top ten. Milk an Toast and Honey couldn't make it into the top ten national titles anywhere. Outside of Sweden and the DA-CH countries, the song was only briefly placed in Belgium (49th place, 1 week), Great Britain (89th place, 1 week) and the Netherlands (80th place, 11 weeks).
