Woman received a score of 69 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 22 critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. [6] Heather Phares of AllMusic called Woman "an enjoyable album" that's "built on layers of fondly remembered vintage funk and disco, pre-EDM French Touch, and Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay's own work." [7] Danny Wright of DIY noted that the LP sees Justice "adding some fierce slap to the bass, bringing psychedelic disco to the prog and metal dance mix" with a "sound is still huge, still bludgeoningly and pleasingly direct." [9]
All tracks are written by Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, except where noted.
