6 out of 10 - ...Singh...leads an erratic audio tour of an ultra-contemporary London...[weaving] tracks full of hip-hop corssfades, meandering techno interludes, and cryptic political jibes sung by children's choirs... Spin (05/01/2002)
3.5 stars out of 5 - ...A festive crash of cultures, a Babel of loops and ethnic body language. Dixie, R&B, Bollywodd kitsch, Crooklyn hip-hop, Eurotrash electronics...Singh shakes 'em all up like rats in a box, finding kicks and connection in aggresive pastiche... Rolling Stone (04/25/2002)
