[3] When asked about the lyrics in Transform, Jones responded by stating he wanted the music to be relevant to those in his generation when it comes to "having kids or battling with negative forces".

"[4] Jones embarked on a summer tour to promote the album with Men Without Hats and BT and his group All Hail the Silence.

She praised the complexity of the beats and keyboard lines on "The One to Love You", "Take Us Higher", and "Tin Man", while also noting that the lyrics are "honest" and "tailor-made for the montage that plays in your head while...running at the gym...[or] indulging in some much-needed self-care.

"[11] Alfie Vera Mella of Cryptic Rock considered the album to be "another testimony of [Jones'] greatness" when it comes to adapting to modern music without sacrificing his trademark sound.

Vera Mella praised "Take Us Higher"'s "dancey mood" by comparing it to the likes of 1990's alternative dance bands (The Farm, Pop Will Eat Itself) and early synthpop (The Human League).
