"Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" is a seething and almost vindictive breakup jam that's been getting some mild controversy over its video which features what may be a lookalike of his ex, Britney Spears. This single has a handful of ready-for-the-club remixes; the best of the bunch is from Dirty Vegas, who give the Timbaland-produced track a neo-disco edge. Another standout is a positively trippy makeover of "Like I Love You" from London's Basement Jaxx. These guys inject an acid-like house groove into this single, originally produced by the Neptunes. At first, I wondered how a song like that could get a house remix, but Basement Jaxx pull it off well. Timberlake is impressively shedding out of his boyband roots by aligning himself with some hip producers and smart DJs. If you like the original version of this single, then you'll be impressed with these remixes."

"Forget the album version and the instrumental. This single doesn't "kick..." until the Dirty Vegas remake and the subsequent selections. Timberlake's vocals seem stronger on the dance tracks and his constant vocal "homage" to Michael Jackson doesn't seem so obvious.'Good effort from a man destined to have a lengthy stay at the top of the charts."
