Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "while perhaps lacking the eccentric edge of Perry’s own work, the LP is still weird and wonderful, a sample of some of the best avant-garde groove music being made today."[7] Exclaim! called it Perry's best album of the 1980s.[6] NME ranked it #34 on its "50 Best Albums of 1987" list.[8]
