make Barry Manilow's songs sound like Holland-Dozier-Holland." The "tricky" new version of "Machine Gun Smith" makes up for the "Motown horns" added to "Walking on Sunshine," Christgau said, and the re-recorded "hyped-up" drums on the latter "don't really hurt anything." Commenting on the songs being re-recorded or remixed, Trouser Press wrote, "In most cases, it's an improvement, exposing untapped realms of both pop and power, but the second "Going Down to Liverpool" obliterates the atmosphere and the hooky melody of the original in an absurdly overheated arrangement. With that one caveat, Katrina and the Waves is otherwise a delight." In a review for AllMusic, David Cleary wrote that re-recording ten songs from their first two albums made a lot of sense, given the "criminal" lack of attention the albums received. Recorded in what Cleary described as "an aggressive power pop style", most of the songs "hold up extremely well under this approach," he said. He singled out "Red Wine and Whisky" and "Do You Want Crying", describing them as "desperately driven and urgent tuneful rockers," while "Cry for Me" and "The Sun Won't Shine" "regenerate as blues-like shouting numbers of apocalyptic intensity." Cleary called the album "an essential purchase." Track listing Personnel Credits adapted from the album's liner notes.
