Strange Cargo (William Orbit album)

Critical reception
The Philadelphia Inquirer called the album "well-played but rather dull," with a few "occasionally witty compositions." Trouser Press wrote that, "mostly urgent and kinetic, with colorful sound effects, the unresolved semi-songs are mood-heavy and suggest a number of visual idioms, including action-adventure, comedy, espionage and mystery."
