Reception

In his review for Louder Than War, Matt Mead states: "The single "London England" became a dancefloor classic in the 1990s, which I’m sure would have influenced Albarn, Coxon, Rowntree and James to ask the fabric four to support Blur at their ground breaking Alexandra Palace concert in 1994".[1] Select rated the album 1/5, saying "Even the most cursory encounter with this rambling muzak would be enough to proclaim Corduroy the most pedestrian dullards on the block. Incidental music for incidental lives."[2]
