[6] Kevin Courtney from Irish Times named "Brimful of Asha" Single of the Week, adding, "This three-chord paean to the joy of vinyl is already a classic, but Fatboy Slim's bouncy, big beat remix will plant the tune firmly on to the dance-floor and give Cornershop a much-deserved commercial boost.

"[7] British magazine Music Week rated the original version of the song five out of five, writing, "The Asian-rock outfit deliver their most compulsive slice of pop to date, mixing a Velvet Underground-style groove with a truly ticklesome lyric, strings and a top tune.

"[9] A reviewer from NME commented, "Sadly not a song about the joys of chain-smoking, but in fact a celebration of the Asian music and films of our Tjinder's youth.

The cognoscenti of the youth revolution will no doubt have heard this already on either its previous release or the album, but this may be the record to take the 'Shop into the crazy Global Hypermarket of the Top Ten.

"[10] James Hyman of Record Mirror gave the remix five out of five and named it Tune of the Week, remarking that "this gentle jangly big beat brew certainly hooks with its Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow mantra."

[13] English DJ Norman Cook, known as Fatboy Slim, was asked to remix "Brimful of Asha", which he did by speeding it up and modulating the song to a higher key (halfway between B-flat and B, rather than in A).
