Editorial Reviews ...combine rock, hip-hop and house into a big-beat pudding, The mix--though it sounds a bit prefab--works infuriatingly well... Rolling Stone (02/04/1999)
8 (out of 10) - ...works as an autopsy on fun; its downered, hungover aura captures the hollowed-out disorientation of minds caught in the dance floor's crossfire of stimuli, then hurled dazed and confused back into the jarring, jittery flux of real life....the most suggestive and provocative Brit-dance debut since DUMMY or MAXINQUAYE.
