The NME gave it a grade of 8 out of 10 and called it "patchy" but stated "there are gems hidden on here iridescent enough to render the collection essential".[3] AllMusic writer Ben Davies gave it a three-star review, stating that the "low points come around rarely, and are far outnumbered by the quality tracks".[2]

gollark: It may have *originally* meant that. It does not mean that *now*, in languages we actually speak.

gollark: But actually it just happens to do that up until n = 41 because your examples show no general trend.
gollark: To be mathy about this, consider n² + n + 41. If you substitute n = 0 to n = ~~40~~ 39, you'll see "wow, this produces prime numbers. I thought those were really hard and weird, what an amazing discovery".
gollark: Examples do not and cannot demonstrate some sort of general principle, particularly a more abstract one.
