Reception
Juke said, "Waterfront are this years Climie Fisher and the latest in a line of embarrassingly bland midday radio fodder. Imagine a mix of ABC with early Wham! without the flair, the songs, or the originality." AllMusic said, "The duo's only album Waterfront has a few pleasant moments but most of the album is vapid adult contemporary filler, lushly produced but utterly forgettable."
