The resulting album is eclectic and explores styles of techno, funk and disco, as well as featuring Ford's soft vocals.

The record features the singles "In Your Blood", "Fetish", (a collaboration with fellow early 1990s dance producer eON) and "Move-On".

Baby Ford (real name Peter Ford) began his career in the late 1980s where he was a founder of the British acid house movement, taking influence from Chicago house producers like Ron Trent, Larry Heard, and Marshall Jefferson and releasing material on the label Rhythm King.

"[7] "RU486", which opens the album with a stiff beat, reflects contemporary British electronic music in its incorporation of rumbles of bass and sirens and a treble melody line, along with a repeating hook.

[8] "In Your Blood" is a sinister acid house track,[6] featuring a more minimalist approach containing tinny percussion loops and synth squelches.

[9] In a contemporary review, Ted Kessler of Select gave BFORD 9 a perfect score, saying "Ford successfully straddles the entire frame of dance, avoiding much of the categorisation that dogs current thinking in the techno world."

"[6] Colleague Andrew Harrison wrote that the album was the first to successfully combine disco, techno and "oblique atmospherics" under the "acid banner."

[2] In a retrospective review, Ned Raggett of AllMusic said that the album "had its moments of invigorating house/techno heaven given a fine combination of dirt and sheen."

"[1] BFORD 9 is known for inspiring future Ford collaborator and Perlon Records co-founder Zip (Thomas Franzmann) to leave his band Bigod 20 and start producing dance music.
