    not Soulwax's finest hour but still a solid album, no particular tracks stand out but as an hour long house mix it's pretty darn good

    Essential isn't as essential as its title suggests, but don't let that stop you from seeking it out. It has more of the loveable chaos that once made Soulwax among the most important acts in electronic music. This time it's more controlled.

    The whole exercise has an infectious exuberance, even if it isn't quite the must-have document its title suggests. [Summer 2018, p.114]

    Purring, pulsing and bathed in neon, this might actually be their essential release. [Aug 2018, p.35]
