Originally, Nunn had planned to independently release an EP of new material, however the band then signed with iMUSIC who requested a full album.

To promote the album, iMUSIC focused on using the internet to "re-establish links with longtime fans while cultivating a new audience".

[8] Upon release, Billboard described the album as a "continuation of its 1980s synth-hewn, new-wave beginnings" and a "welcome return", adding: "The group picks up its dance roots and signature vocals throughout Voyeur, particularly on such tracks as "Blink of an Eye" and "Drug".

He added: "The dance influences remain on Voyeur; in fact, the first two tracks, "Blink of an Eye" and "Shiny", are both potential floor-fillers.

"[11] Curve described the album as "a mutation of Nunn's "No More Words" — steady pop vocals, a deeper edge to catch up with the times, and a multitude of layers: plugged-in guitar, dance-mix sequences and thick harmonies.
