Rezension

Stephen Thomas Erlewine schrieb bei AllMusic: „...the album, the proof that the duo wasn’t merely a stellar singles act, but expert craftsmen as writers and record-makers. The next few albums were bigger hits, but they topped the charts on the momentum created by Voices, and it still stands as one of their great records.“

Charts

Das Album erreichte Platz 17 der US-amerikanischen Billboard 200 und war 100 Wochen darin platziert.
