Upon its release, Simon Price of the Melody Maker magazine gave it a favorable review, stating that the album was "possibly the funniest record ever made" and "an act of aesthetic warfare...and commercial suicide".

[8] In April 2024, Uncut Magazine placed the album in the 222th spot while listing the "500 Greatest Albums Of The 1990's". [9]
