    Amazing work. A funk album that actually stands up to all the other ones out there with unique sounds and rhythms. If you're a fan of Jamiroquai, there's no way you can be disappointed with this album.

    This is my least favorite Jamiroquai album, but I still absolutely love it. Jay Kay has a knack for making quality funk music, and the musicians in the band are so skilled at what they do--they are definitely some of the best out there. Love the backup singers, as well. Perfect music for a night at the discotheque.

    This hand-clapping, disco-ball-driven journey sounds like all the other stuff in [Jay Kay's] catalog.

    'A Funk Odyessey' takes you on a journey of eye-closing triteness.

    The album never truly develops, as the group prefers to rehash old stuff rather than break new ground.
