Critical reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "As a one-man-teen-band—okay, a solo artist—Aussie Andre has already proved to be good enough to support East 17 on their Euro tour. A winning combination, judging by the streetwise swingbeat."[2] The Guardian critic Ross Jones wrote: "A more caring society would almost feel sorry for 'Turn It Up' and its desperately ineffectual, borderline imbecilic bid for a bit of that West Coast 'flava'. Frankly, Heartbreak High's canteen scenes deserved better."[3]
