‘Melt’ was their 2nd album & last to feature the original line-up of Shayne Carter, Andrew Brough, John Collie & David Wood; Brough was to leave before the third album, ‘Blow.’ The album reached no. 13 on New Zealand music charts & sold 40,000 copies in the United States.
AllMusic wrote that "once the listener gets past the distracting production ... this is probably the Straitjacket Fits' strongest set of songs." Trouser Press wrote that if the production "occasionally yields mush, it also results in brilliance: a swooping, swooning, swelling, surging, soaring (and all that) rush that beautifully captures the intensity of the band’s live shows." The Chicago Reader praised the "gorgeous sweet-and-sour vibe—lush & abrasive, peppy & mournful, thrilling & sinister." The Guardian called ‘Melt’ the band's best album, writing that "Down in Splendour" "shows off their exquisite vocal harmonies & twin-guitar interplay without losing any of the tension that would ultimately destroy the group."
