Critical reception

In a review published in Smash Hits, Ro Newton stated that "I Surrender (To the Spirit of the Night)" "sounds like a huge hit" which she considered as a "loosely disguised version" of "Let's All Chant", but added that "it's been Sam Fox-ed up with thundering drums, growling guitar solos and plenty of woh-oh-ohs".[1]
