PopMatters

It is a fantastic album, no less so than the one before it.

Billboard

Being sampled by Lemon Jelly on this astonishing new album is nothing less than an honor.

Splendid

Though sampling has been done to death, the stealthiness which which Deakin and Franglen incorporate their borrowed material will be required study for wannabe producers and hop-headz; in that regard, it's on a par with the seminal Paul's Boutique.

Lost At Sea

Perhaps their best outing yet.

It’s clear that Lemon Jelly have well and truly upped the ante.

New Musical Express

LJ retain their title as the world's premier inner-space invaders. [29 Jan 2005, p.58]

So it essentially comes down to the fact that “Come Down on Me” and “Go” are likely going to be two of the best tracks of the year, but that a great deal of ’64-’95 is less likely to stick to memory.

Dot Music

Despite the wide range of musical styles used here, each one is absorbed into that unique Jellies sound, smoothed and polished almost beyond recognition into a sumptuous, unthreatening ambient groove with echoes of The Orb, Groove Armada and Zero 7.

Under The Radar

It takes their happily slanted electronic sound and infuses it with a sinister mood and heavy guitar sounds. [#8, p.106]

Uncut

The tone is less whimsical, occasionally ecstatic, and at times reminiscent of big beat. [Mar 2005, p.91]

Entertainment Weekly

It's an admirable creative stretch, but the resulting mash-ups are little more than pleasantly diverting. [4 Feb 2005, p.135]

Pitchfork

'64-'95 succeeds when Lemon Jelly stick to their bread and butter: pleasant and facile ambience.

The Onion (A.V. Club)

None of the samples really evoke the years in question, and Lemon Jelly doesn't put the years in any kind of relevant order, so the overall point of '64-'95 seems a little vague.

Q Magazine

For all the wit, layered invention and easy-on-the-ear harmonies Deakin and Franglen bring to '64-'95, there's a corresponding lack of intrigue. [Feb 2005, p.94]

The Guardian

While a lot of '64-'95 works, much of it appears to arrive sporting ironic quote marks.

Stylus Magazine

While their sounds are pleasant enough, where Lemon Jelly fall short most often is in their unimaginative arrangements.

Magnet

Feels like a product of the past. Not the distant past, either, where at least its retrofits could be forgiven as homage. Lemon Jelly captures electronica circa 1993. [#67, p.102]

Few electronic albums are able to stretch a smile across my face as wide as Lemon Jelly's incomparable pastiche exercise, '64-95.' Taste oughtn't be argued, but this is certainly one of my favorites.

Daniel S gave it an8:
starts slowly then grows into a monster. very much a sample/sequencer moment, but in no way does that affect the overall musical interest. some real gems too(don't stop now/shouty track)

Jake L gave it a10:
I've never had an album grow on me like this did - listen again, and again if necessary. It's stunningly brilliant.

jayman gave it a10:
Okay. So, I've had this cd a month now. At first I would've thrown a 6 or 7 rating at this, but it grows baby. Great headphone material and something new is discovered at every listen. If you've listened to this album, don't disregard it. Put it back on and let it guide it's way back into your brain.

Dan W gave it a9:
A huge step forward from the gloriously relaxed ambience of KY and Lost Horizons. There's an appreciably harder edge to many of the tracks, in fact that which works least well is most reminiscent of their previous outings.

Rob J gave it a9:
A real grower and far more than the sum of its parts. Saw them live "doing" this album and the diversity is something else - live scratching, bongos, cello, accordians, guitars, etc. Outstanding

chris s gave it a3:
'my first sequencer/sampler' springs to mind, a big dissapointment. soundbites sounded interesting but when i bought the album it just felt uninspiring. poor.
