A small review in Q magazine gives Barking 3/5.
All positive comments, with ALAF mentioned as the standout dance anthem.

one of the best and most honest reviews of an album i've seen....

NME gave it 5/10 but whoever lisented to it couldn't have been that arsed getting things right seeing "Moon In Water" was printed as "Move In Water".

Short article listing Bird 1 and ALAF as highlights, Diamond Jigsaw compared to a Doves festival anthem which to me ain't so bad.

This article gave 6/10 but had a real dig at the 'pop' sound of the album.

Now that was an honest review.

They give it 4/5
Great quote - "As always, Underworld make perfect music for travelling—if you're somewhere you can't dance, you should at least be in a car or train or bus, anything moving forward and fast."

Some of the comments on the review are quite funny:
"I'm a huge fan of Underworld, but I'm so disappointed... Hamburg hotel is OK, but it doesn't have this feeling I used to love, this underworld atmosphere... And listening to tracks like 'between stars' feels just like being in a nightmare where Underworld makes crappy eurodance. And you can't wake up."
