"Red Fire Coming Out Of His Gills" returns to the "aquatic fairy tale theme" of the end of "Wireless" and "turns it into a classically infused anthem that wouldn't be out of place as the soundtrack to a really strange animated children's TV show." "Foundling" was described as having "subdued beauty," and alongside "No Gold", return the album "once more to gentler Sea Nymphs territory, whilst "Nurses Whispering Verses", which takes its title from the Slapp Happy and Henry Cow song "In the Sickbay" from their album "Desperate Straights" (1975), is a "definitive" re-recording of one of the band's earliest songs, having originally been recorded and released twice for the band's first two albums, "Toy World" (1981) and "The Seaside" (1983), when it had become a firm favourite in the band's live performances at the time. Philip Whitehead of Sputnikmusic said it adds "an extra sense of urgency to the original and adding a whole new element to just lift it to pure majesty." After thirty seconds at the end of the album, a brief bell jingle plays as a hidden track, bringing the album to a peaceful close.
