Reception
The album was perceived as slicker and more pop-minded than Xymox's previous albums. Gavin Report proclaimed the album "a faultless offering of this clan of musicians we call Xymox". Melody Maker said, "They haven't entirely abandoned seamless, panoramic sweeps that characterized their first couple of releases on 4AD, and they still have a firm emotional grip, but now they work in a less gloomy space. Phoenix'' is full of surprises". Track listing
