While The Guardian complained that "Duckworth's style can get a little samey",[3] allmusic.com's review said that he "is not particularly different from the other vaguely introspective young singer/songwriters out there.... with his plaintive, often monotonous and sometimes whiny vocals" and that his "simple acoustic guitar chords can get a little repetitive".[4] The album is certified as Silver in the U.K., having sold over 60,000 copies.[5]

"I-Spy", "Call Me Ishmael", "The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager (Part One)" and "War of the Worlds" were all released as singles, the first two as a double A-side.

The Track “If I Had £1 for Every Stale Song Title I'd Be 30 Short Of Getting Out Of this Mess” was originally titled “The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager (Part Four)”.
