Reception[]
Phil Johnson of The Independent stated, "this is mesmerising trance music of great power."[14] John Fordham of The Guardian noted, "Opening with the galloping-hooves drumming, pulpy tuba hook and Pharoah Sanders-like sax supplications of All Will Surely Burn, the album goes on to balance thunder and reflectiveness surprisingly evenly..."[6] The Arts Desk 's Matthew Wright awarded the album five stars out of five, commenting, "This is still a stunningly vivid and original album, bursting with fresh ideas. What else could simultaneously provoke a rave and a panel discussion about the roots of jazz?"[4] Robert Christgau wrote, "A debut that flaunts their sound, suggests their parameters, and establishes their bona fides."[5] Mike Hobart in his review for Financial Times observed, "The Sons of Kemet deliver insidious riffs, intriguing textures, and a whopping beat..."[7]
