the UK, number 34 in New Zealand. It peaked at number one in the US on Alternative Airplay. It was certified silver by the BPI in September 2022. "Loose Fit" charted at number 17 in the UK and number 71 in the Netherlands. "Bob's Yer Uncle" peaked at number 23 in the US on Alternative Airplay and number 25 on Dance Club Songs. Accolades and legacy Oakenfold and Osborne were nominated for, but ultimately lost, the British Producer of the Year award at the 1991 Brits for their work on Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches. The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Dave Simpson of Uncut said the band's decision to work with Oakenfold and Osborne "inspired everything from U2's Achtung Baby and The Prodigy's 'Firestarter' to Blur's hooking up with William Orbit and Suede aligning themselves" with Osborne. In a retrospective piece for DJ Mag, journalist Ben Cardew said tracks such as "Kinky Afro", "Loose Fit" and "God's Cop" erased the "genre distinctions between rock, funk, soul, and dance music, making it sound perfectly natural for a band raised in rainy Manchester to create sunshine funk music". Author Richard Luck in his book The Madchester Scene (2002) said that while the album was "[n]either as coherent nor as polished" as the Stone Roses' self-titled debut, it stood as one of the most important albums from the time period "if only because of Ryder's songwriting and the heady mix of high times and low lives that infuses every track". In 2015, the band performed the album in its entirety on a UK tour to celebrate its 25th anniversary. They repeated this feat in Australia in 2019. Dzidziuś I Diabeł covered "Loose Fit" for their album Impreza (1993), while Hawke included a remix of "Bob's Yer Uncle" on his album +++ (2009).
