"Funkier and funkier with every turn, Jay Kay releases his first single since the Christmas smash of Cosmic Girl and steps even further back into the golden age of 70s disco. Unstoppable really and never less than brilliant, this is now his third Top 10 hit in a row."

In the offical year end singles chart for 1997, Alright was placed at number 154.

The European release of Alright (printed in Austria) has the same tracks and catalogue number as this CD except for the cover, which has the same colours as the disc one release and is distributed in a plastic case, compared with the cardboard sleeve in which the UK versions are distributed.

On 17 February 1997, whilst Alright was doing the rounds as a white label, Record Mirror said the following in their dance music section:

"Jamiroquai's R&B-inflected style would surely have won them several Urban Chart toppers in the past few years, had it existed, but they've recently got wise to the rewards to be had from including house mixes on their singles too, allowing the likes of David Morales and Todd Terry to give their output a more urgent dancebeat. Such is the case with their latest single, Alright, which debuted last week at 35 on the strength of Jamiroquai's own excellent mixes and now soars to number one after getting the Todd Terry terpsichorean treatment. Alright is their second number one club hit in a row - Cosmic Girl hit the top spot for a fortnight last November."
