"Like its parent film, T2 Trainspotting's soundtrack eschews cosy Cool Britannia nostalgia for something weirder and better ... In our retromaniac world, it might not attain the original's classic status, but it's all the better for its bravery".

"... the original Trainspotting soundtrack stands firmly as one of the era-defining records of the '90s ... It wasn't just the soundtrack to a film; it was the soundtrack to the hedonism of the final chapter of the 20th century ... So does it [T2] capture the zeitgeist again? Probably not, but it is likely to authentically reignite memories of more wild and youthful times for a certain generation".

"The success of T2's soundtrack, and the film itself, lies in its sense of contentment; it doesn't lobby to be seminal again. It's as exuberant as its predecessor, with some honest grit flaking against the more mannered sentimentality; it keeps a popular hearth warm and has a kicking, striving spine. To paraphrase an old friend: T2's still got a great fucking personality".
