Dean Carlson of AllMusic awarded the album 4/5 stars, and wrote: "Even in these early days, with singles like "Pure" and "All I Want", you can hear why comparisons to a less burlesque Pet Shop Boys or a Matthew Sweet synth tribute band didn't have to be unpleasant criticisms."

It just seems I edit out a lot of the radio records that were in the charts for weeks on end - the true pop music being Top 10 - and instead the songs it turns out I like mostly were in the Top 40 for one or two weeks only or didn't pop their head above no 40 for one classic hit daytime radio play, once and never again - always on the Top 40 show on Sunday afternoon. I liked, and still do, the low new entries, bought by a few thousand DJs to play in clubs, and by the late 1990s I was disliking the radio records surrounding them that had been on the charts for weeks.

Ian Broudie learned a lot from this song. "'Pure' was like a magical thing that changed my life," he told Songfacts. "It was a lesson to me. I hadn't finished it and I was so unconfident with that. So what I gained from that is, if you've got a good idea, however badly you do it, it will always be a good idea. If you haven't got a good idea, no matter how well you sing it, and whatever you do, it will never be a good idea. And that's been my mantra all the way through songwriting and my whole career."a b c d e Colin Larkin, ed. (1992). The Guinness Who's Who of Indie and New Wave Music (Firsted.).

The Lightning Seeds is a Liverpool alternative band formed in 1989 by English producer Ian Broudie. This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. A new single, "Sunshine", was released on 15 June 2022. Alongside the new song "Emily Smiles" it was taken from the studio album See You in the Stars, which was released in October 2022.
