"Moving the Feet, Shaking the Mind". ''[[The Washington Post]]''.</ref> }} The album generally received mixed reviews. Despite a lukewarm response, [[Robert Christgau]] gave the album a very positive 3-star honorable mention. Joe Brown from ''[[The Washington Post]]'' wrote, "Out to prove they're not just cartoon characters or paper dolls, the retro-Hollywood styled [[Lady Miss Kier|Lady Miss Kier Kirby]], Super DJ Dmitry Brill and Jungle DJ [[Towa Tei|Towa "Towa" Tei]] try for some substance with their style this time out, interlacing the strained zaniness with messages ("Let's face it! It's a pro-choice album!" says the cover). Their concerns are similar to those of [[the B-52's]]: safer sex, environmental destruction, voter registration and extraterrestrial contacts. As for the music, recycling is the order of the day - while there's nothing as instantly infectious as "[[Groove is in the Heart]]", the band's blend of house Lite, R&B and eclectic sampling is more consistent, and the deceptively slight melodic hooks of "[[Runaway (Deee-Lite song)|Runaway]]" and "Heart Be Still" prove infuriatingly tenacious. Kier has developed into a more confident, relaxed singer, and the DJs (plus cameos by bassist [[Bootsy Collins]], hot rap outfit [[Arrested Development (group)|Arrested Development]] and several ex-JBs) provide perfect music for runway walking or Stairmaster stepping."<ref name="thewashingtonpost"/>
