Critical reception edit
NME wrote: "Fridge have created an album that is deceptive; minimal and monotonous, you coast through a series of seemingly pointless guitar-bass-and-drums instrumentals like 'Teletexed' and 'Chroma' before being softened up for the nerve-rattling sax on the Faust-like 'Low Fat Diet', or the sand-in-your-joints noise of 'Stamper'."[3] The Independent thought that "although there is much rhythmic intrigue here, sometimes the impression is left that the knobs and buttons on synthesizers dictate the melodies."[6]
