later years. AllMusic's Jeri Montesan found the sound of it and The Age of Plastic better than the "unimaginative" pop of the 1990s. Roberts, on the other hand, felt that while Horn's project was ambitious, it had some outdated and chintzy-sounding moments. Stannard called its songwriting "vastly more sophisticated and satisfying" than The Age of Plastic, while The Bolton News journalist Martin Hutchinson highlighted Horn's vocals. Commercial reception Horn admitted to being uninterested in Adventures in Modern Recording near the end of production "because I didn’t think there was a single there". In his home country of the United Kingdom, the album's economic performance confirmed that doubt, failing to make an impact. It was unable to enter the UK Albums Chart, and the title track and "On TV" were only minor hits on the singles and airplay charts of UK magazine Record Business. However, Adventures in Modern Recording fared better in North America and continental Europe, particularly France, the Netherlands and the US where it was the Buggles' only entry on the country's official Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number 161. "On TV" was certified gold by Music Canada for sales of 5,000 units. In the Netherlands, "I Am a Camera" was a minor hit and "Lenny" was in the top 20, particularly reaching number nine in the Netherlands. This led to Horn lip-syncing "Lenny" on the country's TopPop series (with ABC as the backing band) on an episode aired 10 April 1982. The performance signaled the end of the Buggles project; Horn stated in the interview after the performance that while the Buggles were going downhill, he was more focused on his more successful venture as a producer for other acts.
