Reception

A point of criticism for the album was its production.

In its retrospective review, AllMusic wrote that the album "failed to live up to the promise of the single ["Ghosts of Princes in Towers"], in most cases trading punky power-pop in favour of more dirge-like hard rock – muddy sound doesn't help matters either."

Trouser Press wrote that "despite abysmal sound, the band's talent emerges, and Ghosts is an extraordinary album of daring experimental rock/pop".

Does sound a bit Simple Mindsish.
