    It is not bad. Not bad at all. But it lacks innovation and some "freshness". It is a highly eclectic album, picking the best from different genres of electronic music but it fails to bring something new to this not-very specific selection. It is also too long with repetitive tracks which are mostly worsened by guest vocals. Boys are at their best when they are doing songs by themselves.

    It is raw, retro nouveau, deep house bangers like "When A Fire Starts To Burn" and "Stimulation" that make this a perfect Brit companion piece to Daft Punk's recent rebootings of disco history. [Aug 2013, p.69]

    It’s a pop record, a history lesson and--for those uninitiated in the funky UK house tradition--a gateway drug all in one.

    Settle may be a lot less rowdy than Basement Jaxx's bellwether 1999 album Remedy, but it pulls off a similarly timely coup by pulling together a number of clubland threads, imposing a keen pop sensibility and idiosyncratic vision, and riding the crest of a rising tide. [Jul 2013, p.104]
