[19] In September 1988 the Metropolitan Police had to close off part of Oxford Street in central London when an overwhelming number of fans turned up to a record signing by the band at the flagship store of record shop HMV. [20] Bros had over six million fans worldwide join the band's fan club, known as the Bros Front. With such demand for merchandise and fans wanting to talk to their idols, a phone line was set up, with 70,000 fans using the service within the first month. [ citation needed] Self-confessed "Bros apologist" Andy Ross of Sounds was disappointed with the album, calling the songs "well-above-average pop" but that "the major criticism is that the material is polished to the extent of losing all character ... The most so-so record of the year." [9] In Music Week Andrew Martin called the album a "response to apparent waning popularity", stating that "The drums may sound meatier, the guitar raunchier and the lyrics as risky as they are banal", and concluded, "Bros's second album surprises no-one". [10] Tim Southwell of Record Mirror praised Matt Goss's vocals and the album's production, and said that "all 10 songs are delivered with skill and a soulful zest". However, he criticised the "dire Stevie Wonder imitations" and the "lyrical naïvety", with the exception of "Sister", and said that "Bros should credit their fans with a bit more upstairs before they are outgrown by the very people who made them famous." [7]

Bros reissued a remixed version of "I Owe You Nothing" as a single in June 1988, which became their only number one single in the UK. [9] The song peaked at number two in Ireland [10] and in the top ten in eight other countries across the world, as well as giving them their second top ten hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. [11] Two further singles were released from Push, "I Quit" in September 1988, which entered the UK charts at number four, [9] and "Cat Among the Pigeons", which was released in November 1988 as a double A-side with a version of the Christmas carol " Silent Night" and entered the UK charts at number two.

Logan recalled that the Goss brothers came to his house one evening to say they had split from their band, and asked Logan to join them in a new group.
