Music:Response is an extended play by English electronic music duo the Chemical Brothers. The song "Music:Response" contains a sample of "Make It Hot" by Nicole Wray featuring Missy Elliott. "The Gentleman Thief" remix was made by Justin Robertson. This EP was not eligible for the UK charts because it had five songs instead of three songs, which is required for qualification. The American EP was met with critical response by Robert Christgau, who gave it a score of "neither" ({{Rating-Christgau|neither}}).
