AMG EXPERT REVIEW: With this album, Adam Ant's musical career began
to hit the skids. He was still popular enough in the U.K. to squeeze
out one more Top Ten hit with "Puss 'N Boots," but the album stopped
at number 20 after three straight Top Five hits. In the U.S., where
Ant had peaked with his solo debut, Friend or Foe the year before,
this one got only to a disastrous number 65. And no wonder -- the
mixture of driving, danceable rock with humor that had made Kings of
the Wild Frontier, Prince Charming, and even some of Friend or Foe
enjoyable had given way to a lighter pop approach and outright camp,
especially on the title track, a minor singles chart entry produced by
Phil Collins. Somehow, Ant had lost his appeal, and fast. [This
version of the album includes bonus material.] -- William Ruhlmann
