AllMusic wrote: “The Charlatans demonstrated signs of a revival on ‘Up to Our Hips’,
yet that record in no way suggested the full-fledged return to form of The Charlatans, the group’s most ambitious, focused, and successful album. The group hasn’t changed its sonic approach, yet its music has deepened, incorporating heavy dance elements without losing its core sound. The Charlatans illustrates how a working rock & roll band can balance traditional rock and modern post-acid house music, and the results are frequently glorious.” Score: 4/5
