"Strange, strange album. Yes, it's a "Back to Mine" album, but its still an odd collection of tracks. The disc is all over the board. Truly, it sounds like a collection your 40-yr old uncle would put together. Yes, the songs, by themselves, are all classics in their own right. But do they flow here? Not really. Do they create a "vibe" that has anything remotely to do with Underworld. No. Buy this album if you want a decent mix tape of a wide range of musical styles - put together by Underworld. Don't buy it because you like Underworld music."
A visit to the underworld

"What a cool album. Quirky and delightful, though there's some tracks ripe for the skippin'. This is what the Back to Mine series is about - getting back to inspiration and influence. This album does not disappoint."
It is called Back to Mine not Back to Yours for a reason

"Don't listen to other reviews that say this is not a "kick back" cd. The whole concept of what is "kick back" is relative to each individual listener, just take a look at Prodigy's BTM, which hardly slows down for a second. This CD is exactly what it claims to be, a glimpse into how Underworld chills afterhours. As they say, some songs are not mixed deliberately, but the ones that are, are done masterfully and creatively as you would expect from Underworld."
Good Collection of Tracks. Not a Mix

"This is the CD to get so you can experience the myriad of influences Underworld draws from in their own music. They say within the liner notes, some tracks were just too good to alter and mix with the next. That is why I had to knock one star off this comilation, it doesn't have the flow from one track to the next until your into the middle of the CD. While I love Underworld's works without Darren Emerson, this CD makes me wonder what would have been if he we're still in the group. Would they have taken the chance to mix those key influential tracks?"
