"I found this in the bargain bins and was mighty surprised - rather than toss off a dated 80s retro flashback, Bootsy has delivered the perfect blend of old-skool vs. nu-school funk to bring him up to date - with the help of tasty vocal contributions from LADY KIER (DEEE-LITE!), ROSIE GAINES (ex-PRINCE "Diamonds and Pearls" amazing singer!), FATBOY SLIM, KELLI ALI (ex-SNEAKER PIMPS), this is really a surprisingly consistent jam of the year! The biggest mystery is the singer "ONE" who sounds awfully a lot like PRINCE (?!) - is it PRINCE or one of his psuedonyms or what?! Whatever the verdict, many of these tracks sounds like "LET'S WORK/WANNA BE YOUR LOVER" stripped-down early PURPLE ONE FUNK! Get it now - this was first released on Warners on import, now licensed to THUMP, who def have good ears! Support funk, BUY BOOTSY!!"

"The album is Funky, Jazzy, Soul, Gospel all rolled in one. The other artist give it a groove that is sweet, tender and is a light to those who has the breath of life and is a living soul. I think that this is one of Bootsy's great down to eart sounds. It brought me from the edge of depression jamming and enjoying bootsy at his best. The mix master did a great job with the volume of each voice on the album. It takes the Bootsy Fans to many deminsions. I purchased the album because, "I'm Funky and I Know it." Don't Let Them Put You Down, took me on a trip when people around me only talk negetive and step on my spirit. Love Gangster reminded me of what I wished everyone in the world would do. Just by having Macy Grey sing on the album put it in another universe. "I Get So Emotional." "If I Get This Kind of Love Whats an Album Bill?" Soul Sister is like the Black Hole of the Big Band, like Eve the Mother of Us All. This is like the writing of the Constitution. Its for all the People. "If You are Funky and You Know It, You Will Enjoy This Album, an Adventure in Wonder Land. Power to the Funkateers. If someone listens to this album and cannot groove on it, they are not a true Bootsy Fan and a George Clinton fan. One more thing, "This albums has some low down dirty funk, pure funk, uncut funk. Funk it up now cause, "Can't No Body Do Me Like Jesus, Can't No Body Do Me Like Jesus." I Probly can say more, but I think you can understand and jam on this UNCUTFUNK. "PEACE BE STILL BROTHERS AND SISTERS." These worlds is from joyfull noise, loving the Bootsy Sound. GOD BLESS EVERYONE. ANTHONY J."
