On the Loose! is the only studio album by British pop group Deuce, released in 1995 by London Records. The album includes the singles "Call It Love", "I Need You" and "On the Bible". It peaked at number 18 in the UK Albums Chart.[2][3]
In Australia, a 2-disc version of the album was released in 1997 which includes the single "No Surrender" added to the original track listing on disc 1 and remixes on disc 2.[4]
Critical reception
[edit]Mark Sutherland from NME wrote, "From the brazen stomp of Eurovision miss (but chart hit) 'I Need You' to the lush Pet Shop Boys epic, that is current chart monster 'On the Bible' to the glacial handbag perfection of 'Call It Love' to the supremely weepy 'Call It a Day', Deuce take on every genre the charts have to offer and master them all without breaking sweat. Just as well too — perspiration would play havoc with their make up. Advantage pop."[1]
