Critical reception

The album was featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Trouser Press wrote: "In between the vocal tracks are various 'Beats & Pieces', as one title has it: samples, melodies and grooves that help flesh out What's That Noise?, a patchy but generally rewarding debut."[8] The Stranger called the album a "classic LP [that] married cut-and-paste techniques with old-fashioned songwriting smarts."[9]
