A freakazoid musical pastiche. [Oct 2002, p.83]

Linkin gain from their hip-hop daring, and the dance domos get to wedge a foot in the crossover door. [#9, p.151]

Why didn't they travel this far out of the box initially?

Q Magazine

Almost every track here pales in comparison to the original version. [Sep 2002, p.109]
