Reception
The album attracted mainly positive reviews. Writing for The Guardian, Rachel Aroesti comments how Heaton has delivers "observations about British society’s ironies and inequalities" with "gusto, his droll lyricism drilling into subject matter from obesity... and the cavernous divide between rich and poor... over a backing of the kind of jaunty pop that can take in folk, disco and blues without ever breaking its buoyant stride."[2]
