Uncut (p.89) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Blending local traditions with the music of Cuba, Congo musicians created their own sound....Fabulous musical archaeology."
Down Beat (p.69) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Aside from Bowane, most of the artists here are obscure, but the sounds endure as the dynamic seed for a musical revolution."
Vibe (p.112) - "[C]ompositions packed with beauty, strangeness, and danceability."
Dirty Linen (p.41) - "[A] wonderfully spirited album....[The] intriguing blend of genres is particularly evident on such songs as 'Senene Mingi' by Nganga."
