Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "...undoubtedly their best album yet....The Charlatans became very successful - and really, really good - by stealth. With US & US ONLY, they've suddenly become great.", "...a truly melodic collection of soulful, swampy guitars, infectious beats and the timeless vocals of Tim Burgess....paying their respects to such '70s icons as the Stones...all the while evincing a contemporary club culture sensibility.", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...the slow-burning work of 5 men who have injected new life into their sound....deftly melding folky guitars, subtle beats and a moody organ....solidifying their place as one of the most consistent English bands of the last 10 years.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The album, right from the off, took an introspective, noodling, almost jam-based approach...", 4 out of 5 - "...they deserve the most credit and...absolute respect for the musical evolution and maturation evident on their soulful US & US ONLY....proves the band are headed full force into the future, having successfully conquered the past.", Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1999.", "...nestled in familiar rock roots, traversing organ-fueled psychedelia, dancy, folky tunes...and sweet ballads....a relevant album...one that stays true to the band's history.", "...their most 'soulful' record to date....several transcendent tracks, some fime sonic detail and nothing that disappoints....their longevity is assured."
