Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
Norman Cook's bubble-gum techno songs--put out under a variety of guises over the years, including Pizzaman and Freak Power--are essential staples on any international dance floor. Fatboy Slim, however, is the former Housemartin's most successful incarnation, launching a Top 40 crossover hit and popular advertising jingle with last year's "Going out of My Head." You've Come a Long Way, Baby picks up where the smash single left off, cheekily pairing acidic synthesizers and drum machines with big, dumb vocal samples. It takes considerable effort sitting through an entire album of these energized tunes, but taken in small doses, songs like "The Rockafeller Skank" and "Soul Surfing" are like rays of sunshine. --Aidin Vaziri
Entertainment Weekly
Cook concocts a constantly morphing undercurrent.... It's a block-rocking beat that deliciously subverts pop formula, in which lyrics change while the music remains the same.... Baby is clever, hectic, relentless--and very of its time.
USA Today
Standout "The Rockafeller Skank," earlier unleashed on MTV's Amp2 electronic compilation, is a big-beat gorilla of surf-rock guitar, battering drums and the funky rap mantras of Lord Finesse.
