  1. Alternative Press
    70
    He tweaks frequencies and shades his queasy bass lines like the Neptunes on a diet of Red Bull and espresso beans. [Jan 2003, p.100]
  2. 80
    It's refreshing to see a high-profile album like this take a long-form risk and stand on the merits of intuition and musical construction alone.
  3. Mojo
    80
    It's impressive stuff. [Jan 2003, p.100]
  4. Entertainment Weekly
    83
    Basic yet exquisite, like perfectly cooked eggs. [Listen 2 This supplement, Nov 2002, p.14]
  5. Touching Down is thrilling for its purity of thought, and equally chilling for its singular modes and moods.
  6. Mixer
    90
    One of the year's best drum 'n' bass albums. [Dec 2002, p.74]
  7. Urb
    90
    Touching Down evokes the unique funk sensibilities that made his seminal V Records and Full Cycle tracks so damn fresh, while giving you the sense that England's Bristolian isn't returning to anything, since he never left it behind to begin with. [Dec 2002, p.87]
