Reception
Rupert Howe of Q wrote that "[Adam] Anderson's baroque arrangements make the Pet Shop Boys sound understated, but he can write a chorus and when all the elements come together, as on the sweeping, gospel-tinged 'Some Kind of Heaven', 'Why's lush '80s disco or the OMD-like 'Slow', the results take on a stirring urgency."
