The album features a number of prominent rappers/musicians including Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, Daz, Bobby Womack, Chuck D, Kelli Ali and Lady Miss Kier from Deee Lite.

Overall, he concluded that "Collins unveils just what you'd hope for -- thick, bass-heavy tracks that marry his unique brand of personalized funk with bits of virtually every urban-music trend to emerge in the last decade ... the results are often impressive, and sometimes downright irresistible".

[2] Music Week opined that "this is one of the most approachable albums Bootsy has made ... to purists it might smack of commercialisation, but the set highlights his status as the finest funk man on the planet".

[3] In his review for The Age, Patrick Donovan wrote that this is "the best funk album of the year ... each track is ingrained with Bootsy's sleazy, grinding bass and psychobabble ... and the laconic vocals of Snoop Dogg slip in naturally between the cosmic throbs on songs such as 'Love Gangsta' ... but it's the second half of this all-star album that really takes the listener places ... the rich soul vocals of Walker and Womack, and guitar work of Prince are breathtaking".

[4] Ben Greenman wrote in The New Yorker that "Collins collaborates with hip-hop stars like Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, and Fatboy Slim ... and while the Young Turks all acquit themselves admirably--Snoop Dogg's drawl pulls nicely against Bootsy's cartoonishly sweet vocals on 'Love Gangsta'--the most affecting moments are courtesy of old-timers ... the soul legend Bobby Womack contributes vocals to 'Groove Eternal', which sounds uncannily like an early Prince single, and George Clinton himself shows up for a brief but wonderful demonstration of abiding chemistry on 'Funk Ship'."
