The Guardian gave the album a five-star rating and called it their Pop CD of the Week on February 11, 2000.[1] Proclaiming that Mittoo sounds "utterly complacent, cocky" and that Mittoo's "slow-motion hedonism makes Isaac Hayes and George Clinton resemble walking anxiety attacks."[1] Tim Perry of The Independent gave the album four stars out of five, praising the album as a mix of "rocksteady and ska mixed with an addictive funkiness, it's a tasty fusion of Memphis and Kingson."[4] Nathan Bush of AllMusic gave the album a four and a half star rating out of five, declaring it an "excellent introduction to a rhythm master and reggae legend."[2]
