Critical reception
Professional reviews were mainly positive. BBC gave a positive review for the song, saying it is "...a melancholy, slightly bluesy Tzuke-sung number accompanied by weaving guitar and haunting strings".cite web | title=BBC - Dance Review - Morcheeba, Dive Deep| url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/58p2/ | accessdate=2008-02-04] "
Daily Mirror " rated the song four stars out of five. "It’s a brooding brew that captures the mood of dark LA paranoia conjured up byThe Eagles andFleetwood Mac , putting it in a 21st century context".

The music video for "Enjoy the Ride" was produced by cartoon animator
Joel Trussell and is an animated tale of bringing the dead back to life. The video is equally as calming as the song, as animated creatures and animals dressed in costumes travel through a cemetery, waking the dead.Release dates
