Reception

In an album review, Beat Magazine said "Lead single 'Act Yr Age' is an amazing slice of pop, with gem lyrics like 'I've been down so long/I got comfortable on my knees', elevate it from the mundane, lowest common denomination pop that ARIA has graciously fed us 98% of the time for the past 25 years."
