ReviewsRanked #6 in Muzik's "Albums of the Year '99", 7 out of 10 - "...a selection of loosely associated slow-burning jazz-hop artifacts....kinda seeps through and whisks you away to their sunny-side up galaxy of downbeats and afterglows...", 4 stars (out of 5) - "...CARBOOT SOUL is that rare thing: a record, like the first Stone Roses album, say, that refreshes your soul and leaves you feeling strangely elated...", "...CARBOOT SOUL is, again, just really good....It still has the bongs set on maximum stun....And this is what Nightmares on Wax does very well: making trippy rhythms to wind up an evening...", "...stacks live instruments onto found sound to produce a rich ambient-funk mix....tranquil grooves that will seep into your bloodstream like a mild narcotic..." - Rating: B+, 5 Stars (out of 5) - "...This is possibly the most beautiful album you'll hear all year, as welcome as the flowers in May...", "...an album that couples classic Quincy Jones inspired R&B vibes with a stony, laid back hip-hop attitude....a smooth luxurious ride through nu-soul territories, layering quiet, near-ambient melodies over sensual bass lines and languid rhythms..."
