On the Eurochart Hot 100, "LSI" peaked at number 16. The CD single also contains a remix of "Make It Mine", a song from the 'En-Tact' album.

Critical reception



Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "Wildly popular British rave act previews its upcoming U.S. sophomore set, "'Boss Drum'", with an NRGetic workout that is splashed with acidic keyboard lines and pouty female vamping." Andy Kastanas from 'The Charlotte Observer' noted, "This has the ravish flavour of The Shamen's music with some additional female vocals thrown in for texture. Don't miss the house, techno, and break beat versions."Kastanas, Andy (12 August 1992). "Sounds of Progress". p. 18. 'The Charlotte Observer'. Linda Ryan from the 'Gavin Report' called it a "high-energy, no-apologies dance track". She stated that Jhelisa Anderson's vocal talent "is the ace-in-the-hole here, and this siren makes "L.S.I." move in a really big way."

Andy Beevers from 'Music Week' described the song as "intelligent acidic techno". Johnny Dee from 'Smash Hits' gave it five out of five, commenting, "L.S.I.? Love, Sex, Intelligence if you're interested. And you will be, 'cos, like "Move Any Mountain", this is a corkin' Hi-NRG anthem that snaps at your heels like an annoying Yorkshire Terrier and demands you dance. Odd folk but they know a cuffin' good groove when it tweaks their ear-lobes."
