Reviews:

"Faces you already love, from a slightly different angle" (Blissout, 05/2003)

"Refreshingly non-drastic remixes plus rare tracks, the best of which (Saratoga) is a divinely sashaying slice of jazz-funk tinged house" (eMusic, 10/2006)

"The soundtrack of choice" (Glasgow Herald, 08/2003)

"The tracks have a more dance-orientated theme to them, but are just as seductive and sublime as ever. Remixes of Weird Gear and Saratoga stand out, along with a live version of Pansy from Glastonbury '93. Summer on wax. You know you can't wait" (Careless Talk, 05/2003)

"Fills a unique niche between composed pop songs and meticulous, driving dance music" (The Big Takeover, 09/2003)

"For fans of the original album these versions are different enough to warrant investment, and add value to a landmark album" (Leonard's Lair, 06/2003)

"Companion contains remarkably little slack, and adds fresh dimensions to the already colourful originals. Indeed these versions of Weird Gear and Nova Scotia possibly better the original blueprint. Best of all, though, is the closing live take of Pansy. It's a lithe, ethnically infused rollercoaster ride that cocks a snook at fellow global beat travellers, with Jimmy Hastings making it clear that the Canterbury scenesters were anything but boring old farts" (Whisperin' & Hollerin', 06/2003)
