Critical reception
Malu Halasa, reviewer of British music newspaper Record Mirror, called Vernon Reid a "reputed virtuoso in the axe licks department" and described "Open Letter" as "practically atonal with not a pop melody in sight".[3] Ian Gittins of Melody Maker wrote, "Living Colour also deserve far more applause than they've often had in these pages", advising them to "have some more fun".[4]
