Conversely, Tom Hibbert of Smash Hits saw "Locomotion" as a return to form after the commercially unsuccessful Dazzle Ships, observing a "swingy dance number that contains sharp horns, sparkling steel drums and no references whatsoever to genetic engineering. Pleasant." [9] The North Wales Weekly News called the single "[OMD's] best since ' Enola Gay'." [10] KROQ ranked it the 31st-greatest song of 1984. [11] Green, Thomas H (23 October 2010).

James Hunter of Spin wrote that "OMD set about reinventing punk with different applications of dance beats, keyboards, melodies, and sulks", rejecting the genre's "sonic trappings but not its intellectual freedom". [103] The band found commercial success with a style of synth-pop described as "experimental", "minimal[ist]" and "edgy". [3] [104] [105] OMD often eschewed choruses, replacing them with synthesizer lines, and opted for unconventional lyrical subjects such as industrial processes, micronations and telephone boxes; [106] [107] the BBC said that the group "were always more intellectual" than "contemporaries like Duran Duran and Eurythmics". [108] Despite the band's experimentation, they employed pop hooks in their music, [109] attaining what AllMusic's Ned Raggett described as "the enviable position of at once being creative innovators and radio-friendly pop giants". [110] They were influenced by electronic artists such as Kraftwerk, Brian Eno and Neu!, [12] [111] as well as more mainstream acts like David Bowie and Roxy Music. [55] OMD drew inspiration from former Factory Records label-mates Joy Division, particularly during the making of Organisation (1980). [22] The group also recorded two Velvet Underground covers.
