Musician (1/91, p.92) - "...[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...."
Stereo Review (4/91) - 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.."
N.Y. Times (11/4/90) - "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."
Entertainment Weekly (11/9/90) - "...Heartfelt expressions of romantic distress, plus their best tunes yet..." - Rating: A+
Q Magazine (11/90) - 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."
Q Magazine (10/95, p.144) - 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..."
Rockpool (11/15/90) - "No one but the Pet Shop Boys could have crafted an album of such majestic beauty and wry irony as this. The long-awaited `Behaviour' is a symphony you can dance to, and has more melodic hooks than most bands could write in their entire careers."
