Additionally, "Jordan: The EP" peaked at No. 35 on the UK Singles Chart. "Jordan: The Comeback" received rave reviews that compared songwriter and lead singer Paddy McAloon to everyone from William Shakespeare to Marvin Gaye. Jason Ankeny of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it "Prefab Sprout's largely successful attempt to embrace the breadth of popular music". He added: "Over the course of no less than 19 tracks, McAloon chases his twin preoccupations of religion and celebrity, creating a loose thematic canvas perfect for his expanding musical palette". David Wild of "Rolling Stone" said, "If Brian Wilson at the height of his creative powers had spent a year in the studio working up a concept album about love, God and Elvis, the result might have sounded like "Jordan: The Comeback"." Ira Robbins of "Entertainment Weekly" gave the album a grade of B+, saying: "Those accustomed to musical junk food may find "Jordan: The Comeback" too subtle and complex at first, but this airy delicacy is a taste worth acquiring."
