The remix album was released on YouTube on 29 July. In the description, Sophie wrote: "This is an album for myself, my friends, and all of the sweet people that have supported me and inspired me, I love you. Let's celebrate."[5] It was released on digital and streaming platforms on 6 September.[6]

Matt Moen of Paper described the album as featuring "everything from throbbing techno to glitter-dusted house renditions and glossy ambient drones". They singled out "Ponyboy (Faast Boy Remix)", "Faceshopping (Money Mix)", "Whole New World (Doss and Sophie Remix)", and the final five "Infatuation" mixes as standout tracks.[4] Resident Advisor gave the album the "RA Recommends" badge, and in its review Andrew Ryce wrote: "The LP offers catharsis through rambunctious beats, sweet melodies and the gnarliest sounds Sophie can muster. It brings [Sophie's] themes of searching, self-acceptance and identity directly onto the dance floor, in ways that are as splashy, strange and unforgettable as you'd hope."[8] Tiny Mix Tapes described each disc as "consisting of over 47 minutes of seamless fun".[9] The Quietus named it the 19th best miscellaneous album of the year, with Christian Eede writing that it "serves as a treasure trove of previously unreleased tracks from the producer that have become favourites over the course of her tour dates of the last couple of years.

Notes

  • When added to digital and streaming platforms, "Leeds Heaven And Hell" was renamed to "Pretending (Glasshouse)" and "Infatuation (The Abyss)" was misspelled as "Infutation". Several additional errors were made when the album was released on Apple Music and iTunes in the United Kingdom; the album's title was incorrectly punctuated as "Oil Of Every Pearl's (Un-Insides Non-Stop Remix Album)", and "Faceshopping (Money Mix)" was simply labelled as "Faceshopping".
