BBC Music described it as having "accelerated dubstep’s transformation from hyped underground scene to [a] sort of influential [genre]", as it fuzes more "old-school rave" sounds with more accessible "pop" sounds.

[8] The album predates the highly popular and influential dubstep works by producers such as Skrillex, sometimes disparagingly referred to as "brostep".

Ben Thompson of the Guardian described the track Summer Dreams as "a moving tribute to the last indigenous British dance upsurge...".

[11] The album was also released on vinyl across three plates, with a different track listing.
