"The album holds up as one of the Eighties' smartest megapop statements, full of passion and surefire hooks. This edition adds a CD of 12-inch mixes and B sides (check out Shep Pettibone's nine-minute "Hard Day" mix) and a DVD of videos, so you can see George write "Explore Monogamy" on some lucky lady's bare flesh in lipstick"

"Much of the bonus material is enjoyable, albeit in a time-capsule fashion -- nothing evokes 1989 like a Shep Pettibone remix -- but the real star of the reissue is the album itself. After 24 years, it's still a gleaming, immaculate piece of dance-pop retaining its sleek, stainless appeal"
