  1. 8.5 |   BBC

    New remixes of golden oldies rarely succeed in balancing the classic’s magic with modern context, but Pnau have produced eight surprisingly original and sublimely brilliant pop nuggets with a Balearic and cosmic disco sheen

  2. 8.5 |   Tone Deaf

    It’s a creation that deserves as much respect from critics as it does from the sternest of Elton John die-hards

  3. 8.0 |   Q

    A truly remarkable record that will repay your deep and repeated listening tenfold. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    Amazingly, Elton John has been re-invented once again

  5. 8.0 |   The Independent

    The results here are surprisingly congenial, their sparkle only slightly subdued by the breathy reverb that swathes everything in a sonic dust entirely appropriate to the 1970s source

  6. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Pnau have sliced and diced prime cuts from their mentor's early-1970s golden age and reconstituted them into a Balearic chill-out mixtape

  7. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    More than laboratory made candyfloss, it’s irresistible

  8. 8.0 |   The Observer

    Refreshingly unpredictable, this is a blueprint for what remix albums should aspire to
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   All Music

    Pnau cleverly evoke some of the spirit of Elton’s disco but it’s seen through the prism of the retro-disco that pervades certain elements of modern dance-pop

  10. 7.0 |   NME

    The results range from danceable to unnerving and give off an atmosphere of ghostly melancholy that subtly subverts Elton’s reputation as a cosy British institution

  11. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    At its best, shimmering and Balearic, the process makes dreamy summertime listening, but when it misfires, it may as well be sent straight to your local winebar

  12. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Whether John's more die-hard fans will approve of this treatment is up for debate, but for the more casual listener it's definitely a more engaging introduction to some of the less famous songs

  13. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    With the old adage that it's about quality and not quantity, this 'Volume 1' - for there could well be more - will be welcomed with arms outstretched on the dancefloor
