| AllMusic |   [3] |
AllMusic states that Breed is a "great second record from an extraordinary talent, and one of 1997's best pop albums." [3] The website describes the album's sound as "slightly sinister pop, with finely woven layers of fuzz guitar [and] pulsing drums." [3] It also notes that "Christy likes to build songs up bit by bit, but always cuts quickly to the chase--as in the flowing "Burn": first a simple, strummed acoustic guitar, and then before you know it the chorus blasts in from out of nowhere, background vocals soaring above her hypnotic vocals and a perfectly applied mechanical beat." [3]
The title track was featured on the soundtrack for the 1997 film Batman & Robin , released by Warner Bros. Records. [4] The song "I Want What I Want" also appeared in the 1998 film Wild Things . [5]
