NME wrote that "like Supergrass and British Sea Power before them, 1990s' refusal to be difficult and consistent greatness makes them a hard concept to market. But a fantastic one to listen to."http://www.nme.com/reviews/10245 https://web.archive.org/web/20090404030432/http://www.nme.com/reviews/10245 dead 2009-04-04 Album Review: 1990s NME 2020-06-07 The song "You Made Me Like It" can be heard in the pilot for Community.
