Stereogum opined that the instrumental "stands out primarily as a song that sounds as much like Pink Floyd as anything on their mid-'70s releases. The song roots itself to Gilmour's familiar lonesome melodic guitar descants threading themselves through the trademark mood setting and foundation of Mason's drum work and the invaluable Wright's keyboard deviations."

The album features solo recordings by White along with tracks that he recorded with various artists between 1974 and 1994. Seven of the tracks were previously unissued, including the bridged version of " Pigs on the Wing " by Pink Floyd that had previously only been available on the 8-track version of Pink Floyd's "Animals".
It features Wright's first lead vocal on a Pink Floyd album since The Dark Side of the Moon (1973).

Pink Floyd would again use this technique on the bass line for "Sheep". This riff was first created by David Gilmour on guitar with effects, then Roger Waters had the idea of using bass instead of guitar, so they recorded the song on two different bass guitars. The piece is in B minor, occasionally alternating with an A major chord.
