AllMusic editor Rick Anderson noted that on "Dub Be Good to Me", the bassline from "Guns of Brixton" is "churning underneath an otherwise relatively faithful rendition" of the SOS Band's "Just Be Good to Me". Writing in Freaky Trigger in 1999, Tom Ewing ranked the song as the 97th best single of the 1990s, and described it as "the Wild Bunch/Massive Attack dub-dance Bristol sound, commercialised before it had even come close to breaking through."
