    A postcard-perfect summer pop jam, "Don't Give Up" is one of many delights on Chicane's much-anticipated sophomore album, "Behind The Sun."
  2. Almost Cool
    60
    It's a little cheesier than the average trance album, but will probably appeal to some of those who enjoy Paul Van Dyk or even ATB
  3. AllMusic
    60
    When he isn't heating up the dance floor with unlikely guests, Bracegirdle constructs spacy ambient tracks that cool things down.
  4. CDNow
    60
    Like many a club anthem, Chicane's massive tracks have a formulaic feel.
  5. Q Magazine
    40
    MOR for the Ibiza generation.
  6. New Musical Express (NME)
    30
    Anodyne dance music for people who don't go to clubs, comedown music for people who don't do drugs.

This is one of the all-time best dance/chil albums ever made. Nick's classical background is evident in these scintillating compositions. Oddly, though, the most famous track (with Bryan Adams singing) is the worst one on the CD. Buy it and you definitely won't regret it.… Expand

    One of the best albums of the genre. Those ratings don't do justice.

I'm surprised it hasn't got more overt political undertones! Irrespective of NME and their inability to review music coherently, this album is a classic and is simply perfect for the summer. One of my favorite albums. Ever.… Expand
