 The album, described as "relentlessly chirpy", ultimately reached the Top 30 in the UK Albums Chart, and the band appeared on Top of the Pops as well as the cover of "Melody Maker" twice (24 September 1988 and 18 February 1989).In 1990, drummer Bloss left the band and was replaced by Jimmy Hughes from Black.Their second album, "Crawdaddy", was not as well received, even if, according to critic Doug Brod, it "reveal[ed] a more mature Buds, a group that has learned the value of a little variety."
