[3] The Man's Machine is the third EP—with the title track as the third single off Jamie T's critically acclaimed second LP, Kings & Queens—albeit the first one to be released after the album.

[2] It was filmed with a DVCPro-HD camera, with his and Jamie's collaborative concept to capture footage that was "saturated in the culture it came from" which would reflect the lyrics.

He also noted the "broad range of styles", such as the ska-punk rhythms of "Man Not a Monster"; and the more introspective balladeer side, as displayed on "Believing in Things That Can't Be Done".

[1] Reviewing for University of Oxford's Cherwell student newspaper, Hannah Partos also praised the EP for retaining its anarchic swagger as Jamie T blends raucous "ska beats and soulful vocals".

[5] Partos particularly set aside compliments for "Jenny Can Rely on Me", describing it as "Jamie at his best" with "little vignettes of everyday life", comparing him to Billy Bragg.
