While the tracks are longer and more realized, they're still distinctly remixes instantly recognizable as DFA output -- a mark of individual distinction many remixers strive to attain but few reach.

FilterFun the way a dance floor should be. [#22, p.102]

This rocks.

Alternative PressChapter Two boasts more dance-music artists than the first volume did, which allows greater leeway for the DFA to build glitteringly gritty club epics that don't stop till you get enough. [Nov 2006, p.206]
-
VibeSure, the DFA treat their sources irreverently, but their updates are better. [Nov 2006, p.165]
-
SpinChapter 2 doesn't merely document; it selects tracks that hold together as an album. [Nov 2006, p.104]
