Two songs from the EP, "Beat Box" and "Moments in Love", were subsequently featured on the group's first LP, Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise?, in altered form.

Into Battle appeared in full on disc four of the 2006 Art of Noise box set And What Have You Done with My Body, God?, which was conceived, researched and compiled by Ian Peel.

This set restored the original version of "Beat Box" and included the 5:10 edit of "Moments in Love" from the cassette issue of the EP, neither of which had been officially released on CD before.

The artwork depicted on the original EP sleeve is based on that of The Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Time Further Out" (1961), and incorporates a section of the panel "The Knights of Christ" from Jan van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece.

Writing retrospectively for Allmusic, Ned Raggett reviewed the EP positively, saying, "One listen to Into Battle With the Art of Noise and some of [the band's] influences in industrial, hip-hop, techno, and pop become clearer.
