"Leftism is dance music history and so deserves the big reissue treatment. Leftfield have addressed the passage of time with an up-to-the-minute roster of remixers for the bonuses. Still, the results are generally pretty disappointing - they all put their own mark on things and leave enough of the original versions in to make the connection, but not many come close to the originals. The best to these ears: Adrian Sherwood (Release The Pressure, which is the dub you'd expect, but no less impressive for it) and Voiski's acid techno version of Space Shanty (which betters one of the least exciting of the originals)".

"Once re-acquainting yourself with the album, those hazy memories attached to it trickle back, while the reasons why you loved it in the first place will smack you in the face as soon as that glorious first note of "Release The Pressure" booms from the speaker. It's a wonderful thing, and its standing as one of the best albums of the 90's remains undiminished".
