4 stars out of 5 -- "Originally released in 1982, today both the Chic-inspired basslines and aspirational lyrics of RIO seem utterly contemporary..."Paste (magazine) - "[I]t's the band's greatest achievement....[The] subtle aesthetic shift from New Romanticism to synthpop -- coupled with the band's video success on MTV -- made them a smash and helped usher in the Second British Invasion."
Pitchfork (Website) - "RIO isn't just front-loaded with some of the era's most bulldozing hits, it's still Duran's best shot at an artistic legacy."
Record Collector (magazine) - p.85
