Critical reception

AllMusic's Ron Wynn praised Daddy Freddy's ability to juggle "idiomatic influences", calling it one of the few albums "to combine things from all styles rather than just throw them together". [2] The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called Ragamuffin Soldier Daddy Freddy's best album. [3] Reggae, Rasta, Revolution: Jamaican Music from Ska to Dub deemed it "the best and most diverse full ragga album available". [5]
