It contains 9 remixes of 8 tracks from Yorke's 2006 solo album The Eraser by various electronica, dubstep, and techno artists.

[2][3] The remixes had earlier been released in the UK by XL Recordings as three EPs, each comprising three tracks.

[7] The Eraser Rmxs received mixed reviews from music critics, with most viewing the release as unnecessary.

[9] Jory Spadea of Spectrum Culture viewed the album as superfluous and inferior to its parent album, but singled out Four Tet's folktronica remix of "Atoms For Peace" for possibly outshining the original with its "Radiohead-like climax".

[2][9] Ryan Domball of Pitchfork was more positive overall, complimenting the collection's hopeful tone and especially Burial's remix of "And It Rained All Night", saying "Yorke's voice suits Burial's soupy concoctions just as nicely as those mysterious R&B divas he's usually fond of-- if this team ever decided to meet on an LP level, few would oppose.
