According to the authors of "The Greatest Album Covers of All Time", the cover "set a new standard of presentation for subsequent Dance albums". In "Graphic Design: A New History", Stephen Eskilson cites the cover as a notable example of the "expressive, chaotic graphics" that developed in the 1990s, a design style he calls "grunge". In an article published in the journal "Substance" Paul Zelevansky says that "the packaging... replays the visual poetry of the 1960s and '70s and fast forwards to the alchemical transformations of computer graphics packages".
