All Music Guide Review:
Review by William Ruhlmann
This four-track, 20-minute EP was actually a 12-inch dance single introducing Romeo Void's signature song, "Never Say Never." Against an accelerated disco beat, singer Deborah Iyall perfected her romantic put-down persona with the devastating one-liner, "I might like you better if we slept together." Meanwhile, the band had improved since the release of the debut album, with saxophonist Benjamin Bossi becoming an especially notable soloist. But it was the provocative nature of Iyall's lyrics and delivery that caught the ear of enough listeners to put this indie label EP on the charts and cause Columbia Records to come calling with a manufacturing and distribution deal, leading to a major-label reissue.
