Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian commented, "Dance music often fails to credit women vocalists adequately, so this jungle trio's decision to call themselves after their singer is laudable. It's appropriate, too, the Babe's ladylike tones being the key to their pop-friendly tunes."[8] Taylor Parkes from Melody Maker said, "There's nothing heavy-handed or hard-headed here, just 12 unexpected, exceptional, graceful, thoroughly modern pop songs, each a caught glimpse of what happens when you stop thinking of pop as some kind of responsibility, an heirloom, in any way delicate. Romantic. Modernist. As dizzy as lying in bed listening to cars; as intense as you feel."[9] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Former champions of the UK dance charts, these three musicians from London have crossed over to the UK chart big time. Which is not surprising, considering they make intelligent, innovative dance music."[10] A reviewer for Music Week rated the album five out of five, adding, "Innovative mixes of trippy textures, blippy electronics, strong melodies and polished vocals have given Baby D three huge hit singles. This debut album delivers more of the same."[5]
