Reception

Beat Magazine said "Evoking the feeling of all great '80s bands like Hall and Oates, Men at Work, Chic and many more, the loveable Sydney lads have improved immensely from their spirited, fun-loving Head of the Hawk". Beat Magazine praised the song-writing and said "it's great to hear an Australian band unashamedly making high-concept pop, while addressing first world problems."[7]

ABC music editor Anne-Marie Middlemast said "Mixing up pop, rock, electro and disco... Bluejuice are in their element on their latest record, Company... Losing none of their cheekiness and irreverent sense of humour"[8]

Michael Dwyer from Rolling Stone said "Three albums in, these jive turkeys have cracked the rhythmic code... and built a funk-pop wall of sound around it".[8]
