  1. Mixer
    90
    One of the year's best drum 'n' bass albums. [Dec 2002, p.74]
  2. Urb
    90
    Touching Down evokes the unique funk sensibilities that made his seminal V Records and Full Cycle tracks so damn fresh, while giving you the sense that England's Bristolian isn't returning to anything, since he never left it behind to begin with. [Dec 2002, p.87]
  3. Entertainment Weekly
    83
    Basic yet exquisite, like perfectly cooked eggs. [Listen 2 This supplement, Nov 2002, p.14]
  4. 80
    It's refreshing to see a high-profile album like this take a long-form risk and stand on the merits of intuition and musical construction alone.
  5. Mojo
    80
    It's impressive stuff. [Jan 2003, p.100]
  6. Touching Down is thrilling for its purity of thought, and equally chilling for its singular modes and moods.
  7. Alternative Press
    70
    He tweaks frequencies and shades his queasy bass lines like the Neptunes on a diet of Red Bull and espresso beans. [Jan 2003, p.100]
