Critical reception

The Washington Post praised the American version, Mini Plus, writing that the songs "typically combine terse, jumpy guitars with explosive drums and modest but effective hooks."[5] The Chicago Reader wrote: "Over frenzied rhythms and smart guitar play, David Gedge croons an impressive array of hooks with enough eccentricity to make Morrissey sound like a shy mumbler."[2]
