If you've ever felt that they had yet to make good on this promise then, as far as Come with Us is concerned there was never a truer word spoken."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/xx3n|title = BBC β Music β Review of Chemical Brothers β Come with Us}}</ref> His review also acknowledged the success of "It Began in Afrika", saying that by "removing shrubs, laying concrete and generally paving the way for this album, "Afrika" conquered Ibiza, Notting Hill Carnival and contrived a craving amongst those with an affinity for a big, bouncy kick drum." [[AllMusic]] said that "After forgetting the key on 1999's ''Surrender'' amidst handling all of the celebrity guests, they got back to business with Come with Us", and that "from the vocal sample introducing the opener ("behold...they're coming back"), it's clear Rowlands and Simons know the importance of this fourth album, and it detonates like a bomb blast, as though the duo knew that Come with Us had to be bigger and badder than all the bombastic breaks they'd dropped in the past."<ref name="Bush"/> Following the album's release, the band embarked on two tours, the Go with Them tour and the North Amerika tour.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://planet-dust.laserjay.net/live.htm |title=Planet Dust - the Chemical Brothers - Live |access-date=17 June 2012 |archive-date=8 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130708192223/http://planet-dust.laserjay.net/live.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>
