[3][4][5][6][7][8] Wanted was certified double platinum in the UK in September 1989, for sales exceeding 600,000 copies.

[1][9] A three-CD remastered deluxe edition, containing the original album plus B-sides, remixes and Yazz's 1990 non-album single "Treat Me Good", was released on Cherry Red Records on 25 November 2016.

Bill Coleman from Billboard wrote, "Every once in a while an album that you had absolutely no expectations for makes you pull your foot out of your mouth.

Case in point: Wanted (Elektra), the debut by U.K. soloist Yasmin Evans, aka Yazz, is chock full of unexpected delights.

The annoyingly catchy, international disco/pop smash "The Only Way Is Up" and the similarly styled forthcoming "Stand Up for Your Love Rights" are by no means indicative of the album's depth.
