  1. Village Voice (Consumer Guide)
    91
    The brightest actual pop album of 2003.
  2. PopMatters
    90
    Elephunk drops non-stop hook and hump, an album with almost no missteps and more than its share of undeniable, thumping joy.
  3. Drowned In Sound
    90
    The unashamed enthusiasm and fun in 'Elephunk' makes BEP the true heirs to the legendary De La Soul.

    Sweaty, funky and thump-inclined. [#6, p.82]

  5. The A.V. Club

    Elephunk may not blow up, but it does go pop with enough style and verve to make its lack of substance irrelevant.
  6. Rolling Stone
    50
    The snags occur with the group's efforts at grit and substance.
  7. Mojo
    20
    Disappoints big time. [Oct 2003, p.110]
