  1. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    This release is a must-hear for funk diehards, a should-listen for hip-hop heads trying to develop their ear for breaks, and a could-try for everyone else

  2. 6.0 |   Blurt

    Best when it focuses on funky bass lines doubled by other instruments, worked out rhythm section breaks, and instrumental grooves. The vocals don't detract but generally don't push anything over the top either

  3. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    A lot of the tracks sound like things James Brown, The Meters and Earth, Wind & Fire have done before

  4. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    I can't decide whether there are no real standout tracks or whether they have been swamped as a result of the decision to pretty much pack out a whole CD

Ed O’Brien  Blue Morpho

Kevin Morby  Little Wide Open

Represents a musical homecoming for Morby to the Americana that is central to much of his work No Ripcord

Lykke Li  The Afterparty

On a purportedly final album, the Swedish electro-pop singer’s disenchantment takes shape around sparkling synth and light-touch disco beats Pitchfork
