In 2008, Naive Records released Mirwais Remixed, a remix album which came included the original album, with all singles remixed by different artists. Remixers include Giorgio Moroder, Joey Negro, Dave Clark, Shakedown, Thin White Duke, Les Rythmes Digitales and Olav Basovsky.

According to Metacritic, the album received "generally favorable reviews" with a score of 73/100, based on 11 reviews.[4] NME reviewed the album positively, calling it "the sound of an old punk playing catch-up with dance music."[5] Rob Sheffield, writing for Rolling Stone, concluded "Cerebral, meticulous and frivolous, Production is a disco-science celebration of pop trash that most electronica gurus would be too spiritually elevated to deliver. Mirwais' knack for song puts him in another league altogether."[6] The A.V. Club was not as positive, stating "What could have been a huge breakthrough instead sounds staid, as if he were so used to rocking the house that he didn't want to risk rocking the boat."[7]
