Select4/5[4]

Select gave the album a rating of four out of five, referring to it as a missing link between Aphex Twin and Mo'Wax.[4] The review went on to state that "Vibert creates beautiful, evocative slivers of contemporary electro that manage to be both soothing and engaging."[4] AllMusic gave the album five out of five stars, stating that "Though the material is heavily sequenced, Luke Vibert's arranging skills are in rare form, reordering elements and dropping tracks in and out with liquid, barely noticeable aplomb."[2]

NME listed the album as the 26th best album of 1995.[5] In 2015, Fact ranked the album at number 37 on its list of the "50 Best Trip-Hop Albums of All Time."[6]
