The sleeve cover features a photograph of a memorial for James' older brother, also called Richard, who died at birth.[2] In a 1996 interview, James said, "My mum was so upset about it when he died that she kept his name on but forgot about him, thinking 'The next boy I have, that'll be him.'"[2]
NME named it the 35th best track of 1996.[3] In 2017 Fact placed it at number 11 on the "50 Best Aphex Twin Tracks of All Time" list.[4]
