Reception
Aaron Badgley of Allmusic rates the album with 3 out of 5 stars: "A lot of the music is instrumental and not what casual fans are used to hearing from OMD, but it is no less enjoyable than their biggest hits. Actually, this makes a necessary companion for their hits compilation, The OMD Singles (1998)."[1]
