The album has been generally well received. Metacritic reported an overall rating of 68, with six "positive" and five "mixed" reviews. [6] Daniel Ross of the BBC said the album was "waking up a new generation to funk’s heritage", though he said that all the cameos made the album feel "sluggish and bloated at times".
