Reception
In a review of the album in 1999, Q Magazine stated:
"While musically different, a similar burning sense of an idea whose time has come runs through Parklife, Urban Hymns, Everything Must Go, OK Computer and (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. These are the albums that, if there’s any justice, Millionaires will be cited alongside when the great British rock records of this decade are counted."
The album reached number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, spending 16 weeks on the chart.
