Disc One features five South African tracks, four Nigerian, two Ghanaian, and one each from Cameroon and France.

The release was compiled by Dominic Raymond-Barker and Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network.

[6] Robert Christgau rewarded the release with an "A−", saying it succeeded in finding the balance between "cheap commercialism and heartfelt ambition."

While "The Dean" waxed poetic on Disc Two,[3] David Maine of PopMatters pronounced it a stab at "accessibility for western ears" fallen flat.

[4] Writing for TimeOut, Lydia Jenkin labelled the album "stunning".
