[1] Army Arrangement was released as part of a box set of Fela Kuti's "indisputable classics" curated by Erykah Badu.

[3] A Pulse Nigeria reviewer described Army Arrangement as a "riveting political critique of the Nigerian military government and laced with swashbuckling instrumentation".

It was considered alongside Unknown Soldier and Beasts of No Nation as one of Kuti's trifectas; "three consecutive top quality, universally acclaimed and commercially successful albums".
