Professional ratingsReview scores

AllMusic| [2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz| [3]

John Storm Roberts of AllMusic noted: "These recordings are largely in Afro-funk style, though with heavy township infusions in places, from the 1960s and 1970s, including his massive hit, 'Grazin' in the Grass.' As a jazz rather than a roots mbaqanga player, Masekela was a natural for this stuff, and (some studio trickery aside) it still stands tall and powerful."[2]
