Critical reception
Template:Album ratings Rick Anderson of AllMusic says, "Leonie Laws is not a tuneless singer, by any means, but her approach is more punk than pop, and the instrumental accompaniment is straight out of the 'darkcore' subgenre of drum'n'bass, a style typified by minor chords and creepy, robotic basslines."[3] Laurence Phelan of The Independent called it "the first successful vocal d'n'b album."[4]
