The liner notes were written by JazzTimes music critic Harvey Siders. He said that "each track could be lifted right out of context and stand alone as a compact treatise on rock-tinged, big-band jazz." He described "Mission Blues" as blues with a boogie woogie rhythm and funk elements, and noticed that "Self-Destruct" contained a "rarity: a jazz chimes solo" from the percussion department. He said that the "Danube Incident" was peacefully atmospheric, featuring the exotic Eastern European sound of the cymbalom.

In 1994, Portishead sampled the track "Danube Incident" for their song "Sour Times", slowing the original tune down in tempo which also lowered its pitch. "Sour Times" became Portishead's most successful single.
