The album and the track Bambro Koyo Ganda have been nominated for the 60th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Dance Recording and Best Dance/Electronic Album. The album peaked higher in the UK chart (number 5) and in the US (number 59).

The following year, Bonobo remixed Michael Kiwanuka's song "Final Days".Bonobo's seventh studio album 'Fragments'[29] is scheduled to release January 14th, 2022.
