4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he album's mood was dark, its structure loose. As an expression of drug-laced ennui and an evocation of the post-'60s comedown, it has a grim power."The Wire - p.56
"Distortion was always a major part of the Sly & The Family Stone sound, and it's wonderful to hear an expensive album breaking up in this way."Down Beat - p.68
5 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] opened new dark corridors for funk and anticipated hip-hop and neo-soul."Vibe - 2/02, p.87
