Critical reception
Quentin Harrison of Albumism said in his retrospective review of Flowers, that the band "construct whole worlds of ennui and escapism for listeners to experience" via songs like "Travel to Romantis".[2] Swedish newspaper Expressen commented that it "is Neil Sedakas One Way Ticket (to the Blues) such as one early Modern Talking would have made it."[3] Gary Shipes from The Stuart News described it as "a frothy gallop which reintroduces early '90s Eurodance to late '90s ennui."[4]
