The album was produced by Bill Price; its release was delayed after Tom Zutaut pulled Price to remix tracks by Guns N' Roses.[5] Iggy Pop sang on "Supersonic".
Musical style
Brian Flota of AllMusic proclaimed Nymphs to be "the last great glam-metal album".[1] Dannii Leivers opined the record to "straddle glam and grunge".[2]
Critical reception
The Vancouver Sun wrote that "[Inger] Lorre is a great hard-rock singer, with a clear, strong voice that pierces straight through the guitars that thunder and crash around her."[6]
In June 2020, Nymphs was ranked in LouderSound's "10 Obscure but Absolutely Essential Grunge Albums".[2]
