In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Keith Farley described the album as "a kinetic journey through sampledelic house" and "a great production with none of the wide-open gaps and overly raw grooves that characterize most British house of the day."[3]
All tracks written by Paul Carter, Manda Glanfield and Richard Walmsley, except where noted.
