At the time of its release, Wonderland was considered a failure, especially when comparing it to Clarke's prior successes with Depeche Mode and Yazoo.

[3] In a contemporary review for Billboard's "Dance Trax" column, Brian Chin wrote that "Erasure's "Wonderland" (Sire) may just be the nicest thing ever produced by Mute Records.

"Reunion" and "Oh l'amour" are pop-disco that would be hi-NRG if harder; other highlights on this enjoyable album are the shuffler "Say What" and "Love is a Loser," as arch and ambiguous as any Boy George song.

"[5] All tracks are written by Andy Bell & Vince Clarke, except where noted.The UK and US album versions of "Oh l'amour" were slightly different.

Intervention also planned and begun work on a similar release of Erasure's second album, The Circus, for the first quarter of 2017, but it was withdrawn in February of that year.
