At the ARIA Music Awards of 1998 the soundtrack was nominated for Best Original Soundtrack, Cast or Show Album.[2]
Reception
[edit]The All About Jazz review states that "The album would make a good start for those who want to get into these Australians' music, because it's made of smaller doses of the trio's traditional work."[3]
