Critical reception

Шаблон:Music ratings

Upon release, Behind the Sun received mostly positive reviews from critics. William Ruhlmann from AllMusic gave the album a positive review rating it three stars out of five. He claimed that "[Chicane has] a strong pop sense to go with his taste for ambient and trance dance tracks", and praised how "he cleverly hooks up with some established names looking to extend their appeal into the dance field".[9] An issue of Billboard described the album as "a sublime musical journey".[10] Trance Critic gave the album a mixed to positive review, claiming that the album largely veers away from traditional trance music. They stated that "[the album] seems to act in opposition to every convention of trance music [...] yet, in bizarre and spectacular style, Chicane has reversed the trend by actually being considerably better on the downtempo works". However, they also wrote that "[the] album is far from perfect", but rated it four stars out of five.[11]
