It peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums chart.[6]
Heliocentric was produced by Brendan Lynch.[4] Its name was inspired by the Helios desk used in the recording studio.[4]
The string arrangements were contributed by Robert Kirby.[7]
Exclaim! wrote: "Infuriatingly, relentlessly dull, [the album] suggests that Weller is not only dry of opinions and melodies, but disengaged from the very concept of fresh ideas."[8] The Guardian called the album "a mustering of forces, as if [Weller]'s suddenly realised that coasting on his reputation as Mr Authentically Gritty won't keep those automatic Brit awards coming in."[9] The New Zealand Herald called it "a solid, often dense, and musicianly collection that in its acoustic-framed songs echoes Wildwood."[10]
