Critical reception

A critic at Amazon.co.uk reviewed Watch My Lips positively, saying that "it successfully mines the seam of hits spawned by her Read My Lips album and of course, 'Groovejet', her mesmerising collaboration with DJ Spiller". He also commented: "Bextor's ironic interpretation of the role of the pop princess, a native musical intelligence and a host of influences from Blondie's guitar-driven rock circa 1979 to Moby are a potent combination which help to underline the breadth of her appeal."[1]
