Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums of the 1990s.", "...Heartfelt Expressions of Romantic Distress, Plus Their Best Tunes Yet..."-Rating: A+, Best Recording Of The Month - "A bold, ambitious album...the Pet Shop Boy's crowning achievement..it works it magic through compositional subtlety, lyrical eloquence, and thematic reach..", "...Pet Shop Boys understand that life isn't about wrestling with the zeitgeist, but managing a laugh or two as you muddle through. And that's the real difference between teen fare and grown-up pop....", "'Jealousy' goes furthest in a quasi-symphonic direction. Played on keyboards but booming like a massive orchestra, it’s fraught with romantic angst like their earliest work, yet it suits their new phase of unfettered emotionality.", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...By 1990's BEHAVIOUR, they were wiser, looser, and more natural. The sound is lusher and warmer, with syncopated guitars and orchestras in the mix...", "Not since the Carpenters has a group so effectively juxtaposed a dispassionate voice with such upbeat, vacuum packed pop...it's best moments...are wistful reveries with a hypnotic pulse.", 4 Stars - Excellent - Included in Q's 50 best albums of 1990 - "Some of their dance fans may be a trifle disappointed...but the best ballads here are as wry and touching as vintage Broadway. Frank Sinatra should be calling shortly."
