Reception

Phil Johnson of The Independent stated, "this is mesmerising trance music of great power."[7] John Fordham of The Guardian noted, "Opening with the galloping-hooves drumming, pulpy tuba hook and Pharoah Sanders-like sax supplications of All Will Surely Burn, the album goes on to balance thunder and reflectiveness surprisingly evenly..." The Arts Desk 's Matthew Wright awarded the album five stars out of five, commenting, "This is still a stunningly vivid and original album, bursting with fresh ideas. What else could simultaneously provoke a rave and a panel discussion about the roots of jazz?" Robert Christgau wrote, "A debut that flaunts their sound, suggests their parameters, and establishes their bona fides." Mike Hobart in his review for Financial Times observed, "The Sons of Kemet deliver insidious riffs, intriguing textures, and a whopping beat..."
