Reception

John Bush of AllMusic qualified the album as "A sleek and intelligent dance record", while James P. Wisdom of Pitchfork wrote: "Maybe I need some coke to truly delight in the seething vacancy of 1999, but I'm pretty sure that it's clearly not happening."

The title track ranked number 26 on the 1999 year-end to Music & Medias Border Breakers, a European airplay chart for performances outside of a song's country of label signing.
