"Pillow" peaked at No. 99 on the UK Singles Chart.
Critical reception
Exclaim! wrote that "the music sounds so full and complex that you could lose your mind trying to figure out what all of the different noises are." The Independent called the album "the missing link between Badly Drawn Boy and Squarepusher, with the former's wistful introversion shredded into digital bricolage by the latter's cut-up techniques." The Sunday Times wrote that Capitol K "has astonishing sampling/sequencing/ programming skills, but he transforms his hours spent hunched over an Atari into music bursting with life."
