    This LP's strength is as a document of change rather than a retrospective.

    Unreservedly recommended, but for the uninitiated and obsessives only. [Nov 2013, p.86]

    If there's a criticism here it's in the way these songs don't stray far from the original pieces, instead working as tasteful updates that add a dab of cohesion that was never needed in the first place. It's a treat for fans, which is really all a project like this is ever going to be. But it also highlights a continuity in their work.

    Across is nonetheless a very fond retread around the outskirts of a dank, delectable career.

    Taken as a ‘new’ complete album it could do with stretching out a little and lighting the occasional fire under the occasionally maintained for a touch too long strolling pace, but it works absolutely fine as a way of shining new light on often overlooked but clearly internally beloved outposts of their two decade career of rainy nights and velvet-lined plush bars at last orders.
