Stephen Thomas Erlewine's review: "The band does dabble in contemporary dance on Elegantly Wasted, but it all comes out sounding like the lite funk-n-roll of Kick, only without the energy. And without the tunes." 2 stars.

Dave Veitch's review: "they haven't lost the ability to write a good hook or get bodies moving on the dance floor."

Roger Morton's review: "a decent old-skool dance-rock record haunted by the covers-band culture of its country of origin..." Rating: 6/10.

Elysa Gardner's review: "10 years after "Need You Tonight" hit the top of the charts, the sinuous dance grooves and crackling bursts of guitar in new songs such as "Elegantly Wasted" and "Don't Lose Your Head" don't seem very fresh." 2 stars.
