    Hearing Mahal mimic African Blues players is usually fun, but 'Zanzibar' is underwhelming. But when Ben Harper turns his guitar up, things get interesting. [Nov 2008, p.116]

  2. The Guardian

    It's an entertaining set, and makes an intriguing contrast to his early classic, "The Natch'l Blues," recorded back in 1968 and now rereleased, with light, rhythmic songs like 'Corinna' or 'She Caught the Katy' and 'Left Me a Mule to Ride' still sounding as fresh as ever.
  3. PopMatters

    This album is a testament that shows Mahal can still make a solid folk blues record. One just presumes a maestro should do more than that.
  5. Uncut

    As a studio album it's dull and rather pointless. [Dec 2008, p.116]
