Critical reception

The album has been generally well received. Metacritic reported an overall rating of 68, with six "positive" and five "mixed" reviews.[4] 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".[5] Betty Clarke of The Guardian gave the album 4/5 stars, reporting that the album was "as close to the Mothership as it gets".[6]
