Classics was released in 1996 through R&S Records.
In a contemporary review, Select gave the album a four out of five rating, calling it "Lusher and more human than the ultra-minimal machine music he does now, these tracks from '90–'92 remain exemplary demonstrations of tension generated by restraint." The review noted that tracks like "Psychobase" anticipate tracks from the Chemical Brothers and that "Fuck You All MF" "pre-dates the official investiture of jungle by years."
AllMusic gave the album a four and a half out of five star rating, noting that the album "leaves off some crucial cuts by dint of label affiliation, much of Beltram's most significant early work first appeared on R&S, making this CD/LP a perfect introduction to his influential sound."
All track written, produced and performed by Joey Beltram except where noted[2]
