Reception

Aiding & Abetting called Come Together "a remix set that is worth the cash" and "these reworkings do make solid and creative improvements on the originals." [3] Larry Miles of Black Monday considered the release better than Killing Floor's second album, saying "lots o' guitar and madness abound create a single that is better than the full-length album and "If danceable, crunchy music is what your looking for, then Come Together is the single your in need of." [4] Fabryka Music Magazine gave the album a mixed review of two out of four stars but credited the band for fitting comfortably within the Re-Constriction Records roster. [5] Sonic Boom called the album "quite a radically different collection of remixes, each utilizing little original source material, making for quite a diverse selection of music." [6]
