It was released on 16 October 1989 and was their first album as a duo of twins Matt and Luke Goss, following the departure of bassist Craig Logan earlier in the year. It was also the first album to feature Matt and Luke as co-writers, along with Nicky Graham. "Sister" was written about Matt and Luke's stepsister Carolyn, who was killed in a collision with a drunk driver in London in 1988.[1] The album reached number four in the UK Albums Chart and spawned four hit singles, and was certified gold in the UK.[2] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}[3] | rev2 = Smash Hits | rev2score = 6½/10[4] }} Mike Soutar of Smash Hits recognised the duo's talent and stated that their playing had become more accomplished and that their sound was "more mature" compared with debut album Push. He called the opening four tracks "promising", but then went on to say, "Where Bros do come unstuck, however, is when they turn their attention to serious 'social' issues, namely drugs in 'Streetwise' and racism in 'Black & White'. Well intentioned as they may be, neither of these topics are particularly new to pop music, and Bros have nothing fresh to say about them... And that's Bros' big problem: about half the songs on this LP are just ideas thrown together and never really finished properly."[2] William Ruhlmann's retrospective review for AllMusic said, "All of these songs are heavily produced, glossy dance tracks in which Matt Goss's enthusiastic but thin vocals are the least noticeable aspect. The point was image, and without a big promotional push, that image never became visible to Americans, while, in England, it was only good for the life of this record."[3] Track listing{{Track listing| all_writing = Matt Goss, Luke Goss and Nicky Graham | title1 = Madly in Love | length1 = 7:09 | title2 = Too Much | length2 = 3:30 | title3 = Chocolate Box | length3 = 3:57 | title4 = Money | length4 = 4:21 | title5 = Streetwise | length5 = 4:29 | title6 = Club Fool | length6 = 5:28 | title7 = Black and White | length7 = 3:52 | title8 = Don't Bite the Hand | length8 = 3:10 | title9 = Space | length9 = 3:40 | title10 = Sister | length10 = 4:23 }}{{Track listing |headline=CD bonus track | title11 = Life's a Heartbeat | note11 = B-side of "Chocolate Box" | length11 = 4:43 }}{{Track listing | headline = 2010 CD reissue bonus tracks | extra_column = Remix | title12 = Too Much (Extended Version) | length12 = 6:43 | extra12 = Tom Lord-Alge | title13 = Astrologically | note13 = B-side of "Too Much" | length13 = 3:30 | title14 = Chocolate Box (Swing Mix) | length14 = 6:18 | extra14 = Justin Strauss | title15 = Sister (Remix) | length15 = 4:23 | extra15 = Tom Lord-Alge | title16 = Madly in Love (Joe Smooth 12" Version) | length16 = 6:24 | extra16 = Joe Smooth }} PersonnelBros
