Critical reception [ edit ]
Mike Boehm of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the album "sports a nice, laid-back take on George Clinton 's elaborately semi-chaotic P-Funk production approach".[9] Jeff Niesel of The San Diego Union-Tribune opined that "the mellow grooves of 'Walk Real Kool', 'Future Rhythm' and 'Stylin'' simply fall flat".[10]
