Review

Devoid of any true musical worth, Hooked on Classics places many familiar classical themes to an oppressive synthetic drum track. These nine medleys are only of interest to those who always liked the tunes in classical music but wished there was a stronger backbeat. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
