The album was released in May 2000 by Telstar TV as the sixth installment in the Euphoria series, and second mixed by Red Jerry.

[2] Peter Owt, one of the producers of the Euphoria series, explained: "If you have been standing there at 8 am wondering why the music just stopped, possibly slightly confused that the lights have just come on and have a heartfelt urge to talk to the nearest person, then you are just about ready for the most exquisite part of the evening.

I do not know why, but there is a great feeling of achievement once your coat has been retrieved and you walk outside the club, almost tasting the fresh air and floating with the eerie sounds of the outside world.

Walking through the front door of home, with a group of friends in tow, it's Mission Accomplished and time to chill, providing you've come to an arrangement on who's making the tea, the toast and nobody has forgotten the Rizzlas.

Stories of the mind slowing down and each muscle releasing one by one can result in a feeling that can only be described as looking down on your own body in a surreal state of separation.

[2] Owt told listeners to "take time to hear every sound, delve into each layer and let the music feed the creativity that exists deep in all our thoughts.

"[9] The album contains brand new, exclusive, previously unreleased chill-out mixes of Energy 52's "Cafe Del Mar", Lustral's "Everytime", Matt Darey presents DSP's "From Russia with Love", Chicane's "Saltwater", Breeder's "Twilo Thunder", Solar Stone's "Seven Cities", C.M's "Dream Universe" and The Thrillseekers' "Synaesthesia".

[10] Mike Watson of Ambient Music Guide said that, on the album, Jerry "mixes a smattering of commercial fare like Dido and Moby with a large helping of euphoric instrumentals remixed from popular club tunes sourced mainly from European and UK artists.

"[1] He commented that although the "deeply gorgeous" ambient remixes of "Cafe Del Mar" and "Synaesthesia" would later appear "on dozens of other comps", they are "at least here we get them all in one place, sitting alongside many lesser known gems that compilers of standard commercial fare just wouldn't bother searching out.

The tentative piano chords of Breeder's remixed "Twilo Thunder" and the cosmic sighs of Odessi's "Moments Of Ambience" are two compelling examples".

[1] He even noted how Jerry mixes in a long excerpt from Brian Eno's Music for Airports "to great effect, the kind of old-school beatless ambient that's virtually unheard of in this context.

"[9] He concluded, "if pure ambient is too relaxing, almost sedate for you, then Chilled Euphoria could quite possibly be the perfect disc for that late-night gathering with friends.

"[9] Mike Watson of the Ambient Music Guide was favourable to the album and to the three chill out installments in the Euphoria series as a whole.

More than any other chill compilations that appeared around the turn of the third millennium – and there were millions of them – these ones define the ecstasy-fuelled bliss of post-clubbing chillout to perfection.

"[1] He singled out Chilled Euphoria for its unusual choice of artists, including Brian Eno, and commended how it combined several better known ambient remixes with "many lesser known gems that compilers of standard commercial fare just wouldn't bother searching out.

Unlike many other series where the devotion to chilled house and trendy bar grooves borders on slavish (Ministry of Sound anyone/) this is not music as fashion.

[18] Progressive Sounds compared Jay Burnett's ambient bonus disc from Ben Lost's mix album Lost Language: Exhibition II (2004) to Red Jerry's two Chilled Euphoria albums, saying that although the disc is "a nice addition, it's all been done before and with more class by Red Jerry with the Chilled Euphoria compilations.
