It is a fantastic album, no less so than the one before it.
-
Being sampled by Lemon Jelly on this astonishing new album is nothing less than an honor.
-
Though sampling has been done to death, the stealthiness which which Deakin and Franglen incorporate their borrowed material will be required study for wannabe producers and hop-headz; in that regard, it's on a par with the seminal Paul's Boutique.
-
Perhaps their best outing yet.
-
It's breathtaking and essential listening for all fans of electronic music.
-
Another excellent offering.
-
It’s clear that Lemon Jelly have well and truly upped the ante.

New Musical Express (NME)LJ retain their title as the world's premier inner-space invaders. [29 Jan 2005, p.58]
-
So it essentially comes down to the fact that “Come Down on Me” and “Go” are likely going to be two of the best tracks of the year, but that a great deal of ’64-’95 is less likely to stick to memory.
-
Under The RadarIt takes their happily slanted electronic sound and infuses it with a sinister mood and heavy guitar sounds. [#8, p.106]
-
Despite the wide range of musical styles used here, each one is absorbed into that unique Jellies sound, smoothed and polished almost beyond recognition into a sumptuous, unthreatening ambient groove with echoes of The Orb, Groove Armada and Zero 7.
-
UncutThe tone is less whimsical, occasionally ecstatic, and at times reminiscent of big beat. [Mar 2005, p.91]
-
Entertainment WeeklyIt's an admirable creative stretch, but the resulting mash-ups are little more than pleasantly diverting. [4 Feb 2005, p.135]
-
'64-'95 succeeds when Lemon Jelly stick to their bread and butter: pleasant and facile ambience.
-
While a lot of '64-'95 works, much of it appears to arrive sporting ironic quote marks.
-
Q MagazineFor all the wit, layered invention and easy-on-the-ear harmonies Deakin and Franglen bring to '64-'95, there's a corresponding lack of intrigue. [Feb 2005, p.94]
-
None of the samples really evoke the years in question, and Lemon Jelly doesn't put the years in any kind of relevant order, so the overall point of '64-'95 seems a little vague.
-
While their sounds are pleasant enough, where Lemon Jelly fall short most often is in their unimaginative arrangements.
-
MagnetFeels like a product of the past. Not the distant past, either, where at least its retrofits could be forgiven as homage. Lemon Jelly captures electronica circa 1993. [#67, p.102]
