The album was Minogue's first outside of the production team of Stock Aitken Waterman. In an attempt to broaden her fan base and extend herself as an artist, she took an active role in planning the album, and sought out a diverse group of artists to collaborate with her. Music critics generally praised Minogue for her objective, however most reviews described the end result as disjointed and disappointing.

On the album cover, Minogue attempted to present herself as a serious artist, rather than the vampish sex kitten she had begun to personify. While the accompanying videos were among her sexiest and most overt, the album cover featured black and white photography of Minogue wearing horn rimmed glasses, and a conservative trouser and jacket suit. Such a combination from someone who had so strenously promoted herself as a fashion icon, was seen by many critics to be an odd choice.
