Lyrically, the album encompasses subjects for which Pulp were to become well known, including sexual encounters, social class and voyeurism. Robyn Strachan retrospectively describes the opener "Joyriders" as setting the tone for the album with "acerbic observation and lurking seediness and decay". "She's a Lady" takes much of its musical inspiration from Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive". The album closer, "David's Last Summer", is notable as being one of Pulp's most narrative songs, delivered entirely in spoken word apart from the chorus despite being an uptempo track.

He commented that the "weird, British, colloquial nasty humour" and "seediness" of the episode is similar to "The National Anthem". The story went through many different iterations, starting from an idea similar to 1992 heist film Reservoir Dogs, where a group of strangers were tossed together to commit a robbery. Some drafts did not involve Kenny looking at child pornography. In one version of the story, there was no reason why the events were happening, and in another the roles were reversed, with Hector having the extremely dark secret.

Robinson said that the "storytelling style" is as in previous instalments, but not the "moral framework": rather than the notion that "people are terrible" or "technology is dangerous", it revolves around Rolo being "personally loathsome". Mellor commented that the first story is "physically horrid", the second "wickedly cruel" and the third a "sad story" with "no laughs". Reviewing the stories' tones, Robinson found the first to be "dim and claustrophobic", the second "naturalistic" and the last "shot with a grind house seediness". The episode was compared by Robinson to the 1990s horror anthology series Tales from the Crypt, with Rolo Haynes in a role similar to the cryptkeeper.

Plans for many future developments were scrapped altogether. However, the film industry was still going strong, attracting tourists and budding actors. Much like modern day, the Hollywood Boulevard of the early 1930s welcomed psychic healers and other various osteopathic practitioners, while attracting a multitude of eccentrics and vagrants. However, during this period, architect S. Charles Lee, restyled much of the street, giving the facades a much needed makeover to repair the seediness from the past years. To atone for the stock market crash, Hollywood Boulevard merchants hoped to grow business by offering “Dollar Days in Hollywood” and promoting their street as the “World's Largest Department Store.” Retail stores would use their proximity to Hollywood's elite to attract customers.

The film has received mixed reviews from critics, and has a 40% approval rating on critical review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes based on 5 reviews.Priceless (2016) - Rotten Tomatoes Joe Leydon of Variety magazine gave the film a positive review, calling it "surprisingly involving" and "slickly produced". He wrote, "director Ben Smallbone (brother of the movie's lead player) is adept at generating suspense, particularly during a scene in which James attempts a phone conversation with his daughter while bad guys lurk outside his motel room, and manages to persuasively convey the seediness, desperation, and danger that define the demimonde that Garo rules with a whim of iron. To put it another way: Priceless achieves greater impact through understatement and implication than many other similarly plotted movies do with R-rated explicitness."Film Review: ‘Priceless’ (Variety) Susan Wloszczyna of RogerEbert.
