Critical reception

Stewart Mason on AllMusic later stated: "Aside from the unfortunately slick mid-'80s production, Jane Wiedlin's 1985 solo debut is probably the best solo album by any ex-member of the Go-Go's. The singles 'Modern Romance' and 'Blue Kiss' really should have been hits, and the best of the album tracks trade the pertness of the Go-Go's for a slightly more mature, world-weary vibe".
