Smash Hits wrote a positive review stating "Back! Yes! The rubber men in the ill-advised vests return to form with a mental Euro-stunner of "London Nights" hilarity; prepostous classical bit at the beginning, thumping chorus about crying in the chapel (enough to make Duke Elvis Priestly do cartwheels in his grave), bells bonging, cymbals freaking out completely, deep-throated huskings in the background a-plenty - not one with-it house beat happening flare in sight.
