Critical reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 83% based on 7 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[1]

Andy Beta of Pitchfork said: "While almost every second of Moodymann's oeuvre hearkens back to his hometown, Moodymann is perhaps his most explicit ode yet."[4] James Williams of Exclaim! described the production as "dark hypnotic melodies coupled with his signature chopped-up vocal tics, pulsing hardware synths and delightfully warped stories from his native home of Detroit."[2] Will Lynch of Resident Advisor said, "nobody else makes house records as weird and rich as this."[5] Ben Cardew of The Guardian called it "one of his most high-profile releases in years."[8]

Rolling Stone placed it at number 7 on the "20 Best EDM, Electronic and Dance Albums of 2014" list.[9] NPR placed it at number 8 on the "10 Best Electronic Albums of 2014" list.[10] Fact listed it on the "20 Best Album Covers of 2014" list.[11]

gollark: It basically just uses the derivative to draw a tangent line from your current best guess of the root/zero of a function out until it hits the X axis, repeatedly.
gollark: Works for me.
