It was written by Peter Cox and Richard Drummie, and produced by Gary Stevenson.[2][1] "True Colours" reached No. 48 in the UK and No. 22 in Ireland.[3][4] Critical receptionUpon release, Ro Newton of Smash Hits said: "Go West are back and you'd never know they've been away. The sound is exactly the same, the formula is exactly the same. The only thing that's changed is that they sound even more like Robert Palmer."[5] Frank Gillespie of Number One commented: "It's in the best Western tradition with the familiar sounding brassy keyboards and driving vocals but it just might be that they've left people's eyes closed for too long. The back of the record sleeve warns you not to play table tennis before listening, but this is hardly a ball-crusher of a song."[6] In a retrospective review of Dancing on the Couch, Dan LeRoy of AllMusic described the song as "truly dire".[2] Track listing
