| AllMusic |   |
In their retrospective review, AllMusic wrote that: "The new members sound almost identical to the originals, and with a stellar set list composed almost entirely of classic material, it's nearly impossible to hear the difference between the Men at Work lineups of 1996 and 1983."[1]

gollark: *Somehow* VS Code has a plugin.
gollark: On the plus side, the interpreter I eventually made after the challenge is cool™ and iterative™ (no call stack limit) and does IO right™.
gollark: Wait, there are only three groups doing it?
gollark: Me and palaiologos settled on JS, which was *arguably* the cause of us spending 40 minutes trying to debug a weird bug.
gollark: What did you program your interpretron™ in?
