Broadcast is the debut studio album by the English rock band Cutting Crew.
In a retrospective review, Michael Sutton of AllMusic gave the album four stars.
He said the album "never deserved the hacking [it] received from critics", and said that "the slick guitar rock on Broadcast may not have wowed the rock & roll intelligentsia, but it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, an underrated collection of simple, heartfelt love songs and up-tempo pop that reside between the stylistic boundaries of new wave and mainstream rock."
He concludes the review by saying the album "is not a creative breakthrough", but is "simply an LP absent of any filler.
[5][6] The band's second compilation album, Ransomed Healed Restored Forgiven, released in 2020, features orchestral versions of the four singles spanned from Broadcast, plus the title track, this one in a version half the length of the original incarnation.
