Critical reception

The first edition was reviewed positively in broadsheet newspapers at the time of its release. Writing for the Evening Standard , Richard Godwin described it as an "exhilarating introduction" to grime and asserting that "[t]he compilation format showcases the genre's versatility well, while providing great individual moments". However, he noted that several of the tracks included were more than a year old at the time of its release. [2] For The Daily Telegraph , Ben Thompson wrote that the compilation was "a perfect introduction to the raft of likely contenders now hoping to follow Dizzee Rascal into the mainstream", and described the content as "[u]rgent, funny, rude, and sometimes [...] alarmingly violent." [3]
