CIRCLES BACK at 37-Across means that the starred clues (the across answers with circles) need to be read first by skipping the circles, and then circling back to include them.

BA(S)(E)LINE → BALINESE
RI(C)O(T)TA → RIOT ACT
(K)(I)MONOS → MONOSKI
(A)(V)ENG(E)R → ENGRAVE
(D)(U)ST(P)AN → STANDUP
(R)EVIL(I)(N)G → EVIL GRIN

Once again, we see that the words before and after transformation are all legitimate crossword entries. It's the modern crossword ANTE for gimmicks like this.
