    All Music Guide Review

    Moving away from the guitar histrionics of Beauty Stab, Martin Fry reduced ABC to a duo of himself and Mark White for 1985's danceable How to Be a...Zillionaire! Incorporating light hip-hop rhythms, ABC made sure Zillionaire sounded contemporary for mid-'80s dance clubs, and as a result, some of the record sounds stiff and dated. Still, when Fry's sense of melody is on, as on the catchy single "Be Near Me," or when he works in his vicious, cynical wit, as on "How to Be a Millionaire" and "So Hip It Hurts," the record rivals the peaks of Lexicon of Love. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

      ABC - How to be a Zillionaire

      This much more tongue-in-cheeky, towering over London, larger than life LP makes you feel like a real smash pop sexy Brit yourself celebrating your fabulous, fashionable life in Vivienne Westwood patent leathers with them posing right there on the Tower Bridge. Oh yes, MANY happy returns!
