Retro was awarded album of the week in the Scottish Paper "The Daily Record" It was awarded 4 stars out of 5. Here's the review:
The pioneers of British Electronic Rock would never be so predictable as to release a standard greatest hits at christmas time. Instead, they've conjured up a brilliant 4 CD box set which is a must have for any self respecting New Order devotee. Each disc has been specially compiled by a host of special guests, and the result is a kaleidoscopic celebration of Britains finest. CD One (The Hits) is picked by the writer Miranda Sawyer, who opts for such classics as True Faith, Bizarre Love Triangle and the ground breaking Blue Monday. Journalist John McCready celebrates the New Order sounds of The Early Years with the likes of Elegia, All Day Long and Your Silent Face. The third CD features remixes by Hacienda DJ Mike Pickering, while CD four has been hand picked by the band and includes New Order live gems.
