Track listing

Critical reception

Trouser Press opined, "while Pop reveals some draggy recidivist Bauhaus tendencies, it also has real songs of modern music that show taste, delicacy and moderate imagination". AllMusic called it "an impressive, wide-ranging effort collaging a range of influences into an inspired, often unpredictable experience".
Dave Thompson, in Alternative Rock, considered the album "more serviceable ideas than realized majesty", but nonetheless a recording that "holds its place in time".
