Amazon.co.uk Review
Biographers of Norman Cook should look no further than the title of this--his second album under the pseudonym Fatboy Slim. From humble beginnings as the bass player in prole rock band The Housemartins, through chart-topping fame with Beats International, and even a spell scraping a meagre living from writing computer game soundtracks in the early 90s, Norman Cook has done it all. IYou've Come A Long Way, Baby/I, though, is the Fatboy's culmination; the quintessential, and utterly essential big-beat album. "The Rockafeller Skank" is a manic collage of surf-guitar looped into ever-tightening spirals; utterly simplistic, but a work of devilish genius. "Gangster Tripping" and "Fucking In Heaven" are in a similar celebratory mood, but to prove that the Fatboy doesn't always work by a formula, try the purloined gospel of "Praise You", or the rave nostalgia of "Acid 8000". It's seldom poetry, but dumb dance music doesn't get much better. --ILouis Pattison/I

well, after forking out 11.99 for this and popping it into my CD player i knew i'd discovered the album of the year. From Praise you to Right here right now, this album is packed with hits, and you will find the rest of them on one advert or another. Norman Cook has taken his old album and added the experience and style, missing from Better living through chemistry. If you have 11.99 burning a hole in your pocket, you won't find a better dance album than You've Come a Long Way Baby by Fatboy Slim.

This CD rocks! It uses sounds wicked and it has been mixed by the greatest dj of all time. Featuring plenty of top 10 hits such as 'Praise You', 'Gangster Trippin' and 'The Rockafeller Skank'. It rocks and is a must buy!

This truly is one of those albums you pick up and will continue listening to for years. It is beautifully enginnered with classics like PRAISE YOU and Gangster trippin coupled with some of the best b sides ever on an album which will hold its head high in the music industry for many years it has a song for every mood and occassion. Without doubt the best album he has ever produced well done Norman

Fatboy Slim looks like a normal bloke, but really he's a freak of nature. He has this mad scientist mentality that creates these classic dance tracks. In my opinion the guy was mr 1998 and 1999. I still think the guy has potential even though big beat has feel through. Shame he released that Slash Dot Dash as his first single from his last album.
