Critical reception
Template:Music ratings Trouser Press called Visions of Excess "a brilliant neo-pop album of tuneful, lyrical songs."[2] John Leland at Spin wrote, "The generally stellar accompaniment occasionally gets buried in the blustery mix. But more often, it gets subsumed in songwriting that is sometimes just adequate.[4]
