Reception

BBC's Collective gave solid approval to the album, commenting, "Dancehall Places is filled with 'paaarty toons' which put you in a dancing mood even if they are a bit cheesy." They also noted the greater "depth and intelligence" of the slower songs. [1]

The song "Show Me" was included in the US version of Mint Royale's debut album On the Ropes (1999) and was featured in the National Lampoon produced film Van Wilder (2002), (although it is not included on the official soundtrack). The track samples the song "Sesiya Hamba" from the 1974 musical Ipi Tombi . [2]

The music video for "Blue Song" was directed by Edgar Wright, who made the video using his original concept for his later 2017 film Baby Driver and included the song on its soundtrack. [3]
