AllMusic[1]

AllMusic states that Breed is a "great second record from an extraordinary talent, and one of 1997's best pop albums."[1] The website describes the album's sound as "slightly sinister pop, with finely woven layers of fuzz guitar [and] pulsing drums."[1] It also notes that "Christy likes to build songs up bit by bit, but always cuts quickly to the chase--as in the flowing "Burn": first a simple, strummed acoustic guitar, and then before you know it the chorus blasts in from out of nowhere, background vocals soaring above her hypnotic vocals and a perfectly applied mechanical beat."[1]

Appearances in other media

The title track was featured on the soundtrack for the 1997 film Batman & Robin, released by Warner Bros. Records.[2] The song "I Want What I Want" also appeared in the 1998 film Wild Things.[3]
