AllMusic[1]

Trouser Press opined, "while Pop [...] reveals some draggy recidivist Bauhaus tendencies, it also has real songs of modern music that show taste, delicacy and moderate imagination."[2] AllMusic called it "an impressive, wide-ranging effort collaging a range of influences into an inspired, often unpredictable experience."[1]
