    An incredibly fresh reworking of some already appealing songs. Just when you have convinced yourself you will be listening to a jazz influenced retelling of some pop hits he starts delivering fiery hip hop covers of alternative rock. No wait, it's all funky now!

    Do not take too seriously, but worth it alone for the Daptones playing a Coldplay song. And yes Robbie Williams does do a really terrible version of The Only One I Know

    A catchy collection of upbeat horn-heavy tunes, ideal for cruising with the top down and the volume turned way up.

    The sheer bliss of the brass and grove on this album is worthy of the praise alone. Ignore Pitchfork, they need to get a sense of humor.

    Version starts off feeling fresh with the horn reworking of coldplays "god put a smile upon your face" but from there the album slowly tails off in quality and you become increasingly aware that the songs he has chosen were best left alone.the high point is the bombastic version of valiere sung by amy winehouse. The low point of the album is the offensive version of radioheads "just".

    Pleasant. Unnecessary. The version of The Only One I Know is... not as good as the original, no matter how you slice it.

    EXCELLENT! This album will absolutely make Mark Ronson a huge star in America. The album was well done and recorded beautifully.

    Ultimately, the greatest achievement of Mark Ronson's genetically modified Version is to demonstrate the superiority of the organic source material.

    Version is destined to become one of the great party albums of the summer - just playing it once is guaranteed to cheer you up.

    His choices are faultless and his sense of fun is very apparent.
