The title of this squeaky clean semi-electro pop produced by Nile Rodgers recalls Mark O'Toole quoted in "Pleasuredome": "So really I'm never honest." And when one places the record next to the far superior "Borderline", one realises that Madonna is only hip (hop) New York's answer to Cyndi Lauper. (Adrian Jones, No1, November 10, 1984)
Apart from being the only girl Peter Martin actually sends fan mail to, Madonna managed to come up with a cracking good first LP that I'm still not sick of even though my brother plays it to death every time he stays at my house. This however sounds like Cyndi Lauper making a feeble foray into disco with the help of Nile Rodgers and a bass line that sounds suspiciously like "Billie Jean". Boring. (Dave Rimmer, Smash Hits, November 22, 1984)
