The Philadelphia Inquirer panned the "thoroughly cheesy vocalist Dale Bozzio."[4] The Los Angeles Times noted that the album "features sudden screeching guitar solos slicing through the electronic haze ... those moments come out of nowhere and disappear just as quickly, leaving only that incessant dance beat."[5] The Dallas Morning News called Color in Your Life "a surprisingly feeble effort, filled with colorless, uninspired music."[6] The Omaha World-Herald deemed "I Can't Think About Dancin'" "obnoxiously repetitive."[7]
