The album peaked at No. 39 on the UK Albums Chart.[4] In Full Effect was rapper MC Tee's final Mantronix album.[5]
According to the liner notes, the album was the first-ever digital recording to be mastered from DAT rather than reel-to-reel tape.
Critical reception
The Orlando Sentinel called the album "above average because of Mantronik's diffusion of new wave, rock, funk and hard-core hip-hop through studio technical gadgets."[6] USA Today wrote that "wordsmith M.C. Tee and beatmeister Mantronik mix street smarts and mainstream pop sensibilities."[7]
