- Contested Sequel: This remains one of the most divisive albums in Genesis' catalog, in large part thanks to it diverging from the sound of their previous '80s albums in favor of a synth-heavy style strikingly similar to what the band members were doing on their solo projects. Some fans consider the approach a logical evolution of Genesis' sound on those grounds, regarding it as more cohesive than Abacab and Genesis and noting tracks like the album version of "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Domino", and "The Brazilian" that still call back to their Progressive Rock roots. Others, meanwhile, see it as a sell-out album that marked the point where the line between Genesis and Phil Collins' solo work had blurred to the point of invisibility, with this perception helping fuel the backlash against Collins in the '90s and 2000s.
- Critical Dissonance: The album saw mixed responses from fans and critics, with its similarity to Phil Collins' No Jacket Required sowing the first seeds of a backlash that would grow tenfold in the next few years. Commercially, however, it was a major success, reaching the top 5 in thirteen countries and going multi-platinum in four (including the US and UK for both metrics).
