MojoWhile they're hardly cutting-edge these days, The Orb's gently pleasing grooves... still work as aural enhancers for the cannabinoidally-incliined. [Jun 2004, p.114]

Q MagazineIt's originality that's lacking. [Jun 2004, p.105]

A bumpy ride, but a diverting one.
-
The Orb's latter-day incarnation lands closer to the dance floor than the chill-out room. It also sounds rootless and unfocused, in ways good and bad.

-
It's disappointing to hear them following trends rather than inspiring them.
