Reviews"The group’s debut album proved not only that they could make a consistent, perky sound that made room for several hit singles, but that they would leave a lasting impression on girl groups everywhere.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The elegant 'Our Lips Are Sealed,' by Jane Wiedlin and Terry Hall, remains their finest three minutes.", Ranked #9 in Cmj's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1982"., 4 stars out of 5 - "Every element is exactly in its place. But it's the combination of pop-rock production and a band that was unhinged, unschooled and unlovely that makes BEAT great.", Ranked # 36in Rolling Stone's "Women in Rock: the 50 Essential Albums", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The Go-Gos seemed to pick up from before when The Runaways went wrong, replacing jailbait sleaze with harmless, radio-friendly power-pop fun.", 3 Stars Out of 5 -- "Spilling over with Girly Melodies and Spangly Riffs...", "With handclap rockers and terse love notes, they actually became, no joke, America's sweethearts. In a shocking pop upset, they also write their own songs."
