Critical reception

"Water on Glass" made a big impression on David Hepworth of Smash Hits: "What's the best track on the album? This one? O.K., whack it out single-shaped. Ricky's deck is as full of well practised tricks as ever; shimmering synths slip 'n' slide round a knuckle full of beat while Kim's perfectly detached vocal drags the chorus in like a trouper."[4]
