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". [2] 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." [7] In June 2000, Q placed Connected as #52 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.[ citation needed] The album won Best British Album at the 1994 Brit Awards, [8] was shortlisted for the 1993 Mercury Prize, [9] and included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
