Critical reception
In a contemporary review, James Muretich from Calgary Herald said that "the hour-long program does wear a wee thin but, hey, while the groove-mood lasts, it`s a blast".[1] Music critic Robert Christgau for The Village Voice, wrote that, although its music is amiable and rhythmic, Connected is also "so multifaceted that its functionality is fungible and forgettable."[2] In June 2000, Q placed Connected as #52 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.Шаблон:Citation needed The album won Best British Album at the 1994 Brit Awards,[3] was shortlisted for the 1993 Mercury Prize,[4] and included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[5]
