J.D. Considine from The Baltimore Sun declared the album as "one of the season's most satisfying dance releases." He added, "As usual with Oakenfold and Osborne, the music is tuneful and insistent, buoyed by relentless beats but blessed with enough melodic content to keep mind and body engaged."^[4]
