The vinyl was only available for fans of The Ting Tings to buy at their live shows. Every single released had different cover art. This is because at every concert, a hundred blank seven-inch sleeves were pinned to a wall, making a canvas on which fans could create an overall piece of artwork that, once dismantled, were used as the sleeves for the singles.[1][2] The making of the sleeves was also filmed and then shown in real time at each consecutive venue.
A review of We Started Nothing for MusicOMH criticized the song, comparing its production to the theme for the British sitcom Are You Being Served? and opining that the song was further proof "that it is impossible to write a half decent song with the word 'machine' in the title".[3]Allmusic compared the song's musical style to that of Lily Allen and deemed it a "bit of cheeky bordering on vindictive pop".[4]
Re-releaseedit
The song was to receive its full UK release on 9 February 2009,[5] it however was cancelled a week before its released date, being removed from every retailers database.[6] Two weeks later though, their next single would be released, "We Walk". "Fruit Machine" had already charted on the Australian club chart at 37.
