MojoJan 12, 2021While Khruangbin's own cover of Kool & The Gang's Summer Madness is a technical knock-out, the two-punch combination of Maxwell Udoh's inaptly titled Nigerian disco landmark I Like It (Don't Stop) and David Marez's florid Ensename is distinctly below the belt. [Jan 2021, p.100]

Otherwise, the group tend to focus on relaxed yet sophisticated pop with a bit of a funk tinge to it.
