Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "Fresh runs a moderate course, with a bit of reggae toasting, polite tracks and very little attitude."[8] The Washington Post thought that "the sound concocted by DJs Chill Will and Barry Bee is a somewhat murky sonic collage built on rolling reggae rhythms."[9]
