In a review published in Smash Hits, Gary Kemp of the Spandau Ballet band was critical of "Atlantis Is Calling (S.O.S. for Love)", stating he considered it as "rubbish" and that the appeal of the song lies in "the simplicity and the fact that the hookline is 'woah woah woah'", which means that people of any language can sing it.[3]
