Critical reception
Andy Kellman of Allmusic gave the album 4 stars, stating that "despite all the advances made in dance music in the decades that followed the greatness featured here, the lasting value is undeniable." On the other hand, Scott Plagenhoef of Stylus Magazine gave the album B−, saying "So bag the preconceptions and get on the floor—embrace these beats without process and listen without prejudice. And while you're at it, grab the stronger Disco (Not Disco) as well".
