In contemporary reviews, The Guardian gave the album a four out of four star rating, proclaiming that Simpson was "among the first of his peers to corral the acid sound on to a satisfying album. Here, we find him doing precisely for jungle what he helped do for that earlier form. Anyone who's been wondering what ll the fuss was about should hear this just to learn what jungle can be in the right hands - enthralling."[1]
