    It's Cole's deep vocal tracks, though, that steal the show.
  2. In lieu of monotonous dancefloor beats, Cole prefers a more intricate soundscape, one in which pizzicato string flourishes freely caress funk-fortified rhythms

    His attempts to make electronic music safe for the mainstream occasionally sound like callow crossover maneuvers. [4/20/2001, p.72]
  4. Despite the initial futuristic impression, Cole proves himself to be guilty of the same superficial high concepts that taint far too many dance music albums. Still, there's much to recommend here, especially when Cole sticks to the grooves.
  5. The very qualities that annoyed me about it at first - the "proper" musicality, the lack of rough edges - are what draws me to it now.
  6. Cole is a slick producer, dropping just the right sounds to impress fellow DJs and keep club kids doing the boogie fever.
