Critical reception edit

Andy Beevers from Music Week named "On A Ragga Tip" Pick of the Week in the category of Dance, stating that "this track continues the reggae-hardcore theme of 'Way in My Brain', the hugely popular flipside to their massive 'DJs Take Control' hit. Built around Jah Screechy's extremely catchy 'Walk and Skank', 'On a Ragga Tip' is destined for great things."[6]
