Critical reception edit
Trouser Press remarked that the EP is "notable for its first half: a February 1985 document of Psychocandy songs played by the short-lived quartet (with future Primal Scream leader Bobby Gillespie on drums) that originally recorded them."[2] AllMusic called it "their most revealing Peel session ... It proved that their songs had an underlying beauty not always apparent below the usual layers of screeching feedback."[3]
