Jeopardy was critically lauded, and received full 5-star reviews from three major music publications: NME, Sounds and Melody Maker. Steve Sutherland of Melody Maker wrote: "Jeopardy is one of those records that makes me want to throw all the windows open, crank it up to full volume and blast it out to the world. It clears my head of boredom, strips away the gloom and single-handedly restores my belief in the power of pop to make people stop, think and question. [...] Jeopardy has got more spirit, more soul and more downright honesty about it than any other record I've heard this year". AllMusic called it "a caustic jolt of a debut that startles and fascinates". Brendan Perry from the Australian musical group Dead Can Dance called it an "Existentialist post punk jewel".
Regarding the album, drummer Michael Dudley said:
“I felt I had really achieved something in my life. I couldn't wait to hand out copies to family and friends [...] It was the most fun to record and the biggest challenge to work on in the studio [of all the Sound's albums].”
