BBC Wales called the album a ""modern rock classic"" in retrospect and BBC Music called it a ""UK rock classic"". Whilst WalesOnline noted how the album had been ""a galvanising force in the Welsh rock scene"". The BBC also produced a radio programme with Bethan Elfyn that aired on BBC Radio 1 in May 2010, which featured the Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers, Funeral for a Friend and The Blackout amongst others, and titled it "Start Something: The Story of South Wales Rock" in honour of the album. The album was included in "Rock Sound"s 101 Modern Classics list at number 14.
