Content
Trouser Press wrote that the album "consists of eerie instrumentals orchestrated with piano, honking bass clarinet [...] and guitars that sound like they're being played with ice picks and hedge clippers."[4]
Reception
Trouser Press described it as "something rather different for Lunch, and less like background music than most soundtracks."[4] The Rough Guide to Rock called the album "an eerie and twisted instrumental tribute to film noir."[5]
