Critical reception

Steve Baltin from Cash Box described "Hymn" as a "beautiful piano tune".[2] Andy Beevers from Music Week gave it four out of five. He wrote, "Moby can always be relied on to come up with a novel and commercial twist on the house formula. This time he goes for a full-blown choral treatment with the hard-edged synth sounds."[3]
