Accordingly, many of the songs here are based around Maurice and Barry Gibb's own acoustic guitar strumming, and of course the trio's distinctive vocal blend. Nevertheless, this is hardly lo-fi stuff. Sophisticated keyboard and electric guitar textures and programmed beats are not in short supply; the roots retrenchment is more a mindset than an arrangement tactic.While most of the tunes here seem to fall into the adult pop mode the group began mining in its post-disco phase, "She Keeps on Coming" is a rockabilly-tinged number that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Traveling Wilburys album, "Technicolor Dreams" is a quaint, vaudevillian song that harks back to the band's quirky baroque pop days, and "The Extra Mile" recalls the Bee Gees' mid-'70s soul balladry. Stylistically, THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN is more of a look over the shoulder than a giant leap backwards.

Editorial Reviews
...Fromthe mastercraftsmanly pop-structure of the title track opener to the final big and sprauncy Euro-disco anthem that is 'Promise The Earth,' everything is harmonious, hooky and comfortingly cliched, the complete Bee Gees bee's knees...
Mojo

3 stars out of 5 - ...Those breathless falsetto harmonies retain their doo-wop edge, the compelling title track has a pared-down, beat-driven, almost Beatles-ish quality...
Q (20010501)

3 stars out of 5 - ...They winningly assume the mantle of boy-band elder statesmen. Each Gibb stakes out a portion od the album for his own....powering through terrific ballads...
