"Sadly, if there is one album by a major band that buckles under the weight of self-serving destructiveness, here it is ... If anything, Be Here Now placed Oasis light years away from the imitative energy of Definitely Maybe, and no amount of remastering or additional bonus tracks included here can change that".

"Oasis' third album from 1997 was always more circus than substance. The bloated and indulgent remaster only reinforces it as one of the most agonizing listening experiences in pop music".

"In the end, Be Here Now is endlessly fascinating because of everything but the music itself. By 2000, Oasis were covering Neil Young's "Hey Hey, My My" on tour. Fitting - they burned out on Be Here Now, and faded away, a spent force, thereafter".

"Sadly, if there is one album by a major band that buckles under the weight of self-serving destructiveness, here it is ... The album's multi-layered, quicksand quality consistently drags you under. If anything, Be Here Now placed Oasis light years away from the imitative energy of Definitely Maybe, and no amount of remastering or additional bonus tracks included here can change that".

"Maybe it's a record that too accurately reflects the underlying chaos and instability of the era it was made in, and spends too much of its running time dealing in difficult truths rather than the more alluring and uplifting fictions its predecessors often dealt in. Yet it remains, for these reasons, by far and away the best Oasis album, and one of the more compelling and involving records of the decade it was made in".
