The track "Arabian Nights" had previously been available only on a Japanese release of Midnite Vultures. Remixes of "Mixed Bizness" were by fans, submitted for an online contest. The track "Zatyricon" includes the recording, by producer Tony Hoffer, of a telephone call to a plastic surgery clinic. Critic Nick Hyman of Under the Radar, in a positive review, singled out the track "Dirty Dirty", writing that it "sounds like Beck had one too many while hanging out with Basement Jaxx and went into the studio and laid down the track".{{cite journal |last1=Hyman |first1=Nick |title=Beck: Beck |journal=Under the Radar |date=December 1, 2001 |page=5}}
