Gregory Heaney of AllMusic called the album "solid" and praised the World Music Network for increasing the world's funkiness.[6] Robert Christgau rewarded the release with an "A−", saying it succeeded in finding the balance between "cheap commercialism and heartfelt ambition." While "The Dean" waxed poetic on Disc Two,[3] David Maine of PopMatters pronounced it a stab at "accessibility for western ears" fallen flat. He did however call the "Afro-funk" and "Afro-pop" of Disc One worth exploring.[4] Writing for TimeOut, Lydia Jenkin labelled the album "stunning".[5]
