The performance of "Go" in the charts propelled The Chemical Brothers back into the mainstream,[20] with DJs such as Annie Mac including it on their playlists of the year.[21] However, some critics believe it was "poppy",[22] and not keeping to their roots. Despite this, the remainder of the album was well received, drawing particular attention to the 1990s sound of singles such as "I'll See You There" and "Taste of Honey".[22]
