Rezension

Stephen Thomas Erlewine schrieb bei AllMusic: „Though they continued their streak of excellent hit singles, Private Eyes was the culmination of the sound they’d been developing since Along the Red Ledge, and it stands as the pinnacle of their time as the biggest pop act in the U.S.A.“

Charts

Das Album erreichte Platz fünf der US-amerikanischen Billboard 200.
