## Critical reception

The first edition was reviewed positively in broadsheet newspapers at the time of its release. Writing for the *[Evening Standard](/source/Evening_Standard)*, Richard Godwin described it as an "exhilarating introduction" to grime and asserting that "[t]he compilation format showcases the genre's versatility well, while providing great individual moments". However, he noted that several of the tracks included were more than a year old at the time of its release.[2] For *[The Daily Telegraph](/source/The_Daily_Telegraph)*, Ben Thompson wrote that the compilation was "a perfect introduction to the raft of likely contenders now hoping to follow [Dizzee Rascal](/source/Dizzee_Rascal) into the mainstream", and described the content as "[u]rgent, funny, rude, and sometimes [...] alarmingly violent."[3]
