:Come to Daddy (EP)

Come to Daddy has been described as featuring drum and bass beats throughout.{{cite web|url=http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a/aphex-twin/come-to-daddy.shtml |title=Aphex Twin: Come to Daddy: Pitchfork Review |website=Pitchfork |date=1999 |author=Schreiber, Ryan |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20010124115900/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a/aphex-twin/come-to-daddy.shtml |archivedate=24 January 2001 |accessdate=12 September 2016}} Each mix of "Come to Daddy" is seemingly unrelated, with the "Little Lord Faulteroy" and "Mummy" mixes bearing no noticeable resemblance to the original "Pappy" mix. "To Cure a Weakling Child (Contour Regard)" is a remix of the song "To Cure a Weakling Child" from Richard D. James Album. Six of Come to Daddy{{'s}} eight tracks feature vocals.

According to Sean Booth of Autechre, James' track "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" is a reaction to their track "Drane", to which they then replied with the track "Drane2".{{cite web|last=Booth|first=Sean|title=AAA – Ask Autechre Anything – Sean and Rob on WATMM! – Page 109|date=2 November 2013 |url=http://forum.watmm.com/topic/81109-aaa-ask-autechre-anything-sean-and-rob-on-watmm/?p=2087751|publisher=WATMM|accessdate=10 November 2013}}

Come to Daddy{{'s}} packaging features stark black letters against a white background. All the information, track listings and lyrics are printed the same way, and only two images are present, both photographed by Stefan DeBatselier and digitally altered by Chris Cunningham, using James' face on children. James has used his likeness as the artwork on five of his releases: The ...I Care Because You Do and Richard D. James Album albums, Donkey Rhubarb, Come to Daddy and the "Windowlicker" single.

The cover of the out-of-print second CD, with its white lettering against an orange background, makes reference to the fact that "To Cure a Weakling Child" had been used in a television advertisement for Orange. However, the advertisement used an edit of the album version, whilst the version that appears on the EP is the radically different "Contour Regard" mix.{{Cite web |title=Aphex Twin (Music) |url=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/AphexTwin}}{{Better source needed|reason=The current source is insufficiently reliable (WP:NOTRS).|date=May 2025}}
