Critical reception

The performance of "Go" in the charts propelled The Chemical Brothers back into the mainstream, with DJs such as Annie Mac including it on their playlists of the year. However, some critics believe it was "poppy", and not keeping to their roots. Despite this, the remainder of the album was well received, drawing particular attention to the 1990s sound of singles such as "I'll see you there" and "Taste of Honey". Overall, it proved a moderate commercial success whilst maintaining enough of its distinctly "big beat" sound that gave it such success with albums such as "Dig Your Own Hole" and "Exit Planet Dust".

Track listing

Unlike other albums, Born in the Echoes does not feature any segues between tracks. However, tracks 3 to 4 and 4 to 5 have subtle cross-fades.
