Nick Robinson, reviewer of British music newspaper ''Music Week'', praised the album. He noticed that the "joyful, flowing" voice of Senegalese performer matches good with "colourful rhythms." In the end Robinson said: "It's probably of the strongest world music / mainstream crossover albums and it should repeat the success of the ' Shakin' the Tree' single."
