to HMV stores a three-part 12-inch vinyl set as a "taster release". These were limited to 500 copies each and were packaged in a die-cut embossed card sleeve (one leather look, one gravel, one rippled), each with a different Dayglo colour inner jacket to identify which mix it is. In May 1997, Mushroom pressed a set of four remix 12-inch vinyl (one each of "Queer" and "Stupid Girl", and two of "Milk") to record stores in plain black card sleeves. The first "Milk" 12-inch featured three remixes by Massive Attack and the second featured the two Goldie mixes. In 2007, "Milk" was remastered and included on Garbage's greatest hits album Absolute Garbage. In 2015, "Milk", the Tricky remix, both Wicked and Siren mixes, and nine club remixes were remastered and released on Garbage (20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition). The digital bundle also included the previously unreleased "Primal mix" by Massive Attack. Critical reception In a review of the debut album for Kerrang!, Paul Rees called "Milk" an "elegant hymn", adding that "impressive and evocative of Ridley Scott's vision of the dark, decaying cityscape of future Los Angeles in Blade Runner. A year later, the same publication reviewed the "Wicked Mix", stating "a bristling, brilliant reworking of the album track... an inspired fusion. Deep blue shuddering beats and a guitar sound so chilled out it's virtually refrigerated." Jackie Hayden, in an album review for Hot Press, told readers to "pay attention to the "Strawberry Fields Forever"-keyboards which float in to make fleeting appearances". RASP! magazine declared the track the album's highlight, writing ""Milk", a song SexKylie would die for, is an indie-"Confide In Me" that soars ever upward in its frosty majesty". In their album review, The Guardian wrote, "Manson gives her dreamy all on this one, an unbearably lovely, lush ballad. "A divinely spooked, penumbral beauty", wrote Sharon O'Connell in her Melody Maker album write-up, "["Milk" recalls] Julee Cruise's work with Angelo Badalamenti". "Depeche Mode in a pensive mood" wrote Emma Morgan in her NME review, while her colleague M.B.'s write-up for their sister-title Vox described "Milk" as "a stoners midnight Manhattan taxi tour". Pippa Lang, in a review for Metal Hammer, referred to the subtle strain of sadness within songs such as "A Stroke of Luck" and "Milk", describing them as "beautifully melancholic pieces of trancey tragedy".
