The soundtrack to a movie that was barely released, Empire Records is a fine collection of mainstream alternative pop/rock, featuring two hit singles -- the menacing Motown-meets-Bowie pop of Edwyn Collins' "A Girl like You," and the folky "Till I Hear It from You" from The Gin Blossoms. The rest of the album is hit-or-miss -- mostly noticeable for the debut appearance of The Martinis, a new band from former Pixies Joey Santiago and David Lovering -- but it is enjoyable, nevertheless. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
