"This album is a fine addition to his collection of socially conscious afrobeat. It's a sound and approach that pays debt to his father, but is forged in Femi Kuti's own singular identity".

"The starting point is Afrobeat, of course, but Femi is at his best developing his own slick, melodic style, using a light guitar riff for the opening of The World Is Changing, or showing off his fine, high vocals on No Work No Job No Money".

"Femi Kuti's Positive Force is tight, blazing, bursting at the seams. The arrangements are immaculate, always aimed at producing maximum power ... Melody, however, is harder to find. Light and shade there is not. This unwavering music just keeps coming at you. While some may see Kuti's claiming stance as champion of the oppressed as admirable, his lyrics are not shy of ramming home the obvious, time after time ... Still, merely keeping such a large and efficient band on the road and making the people dance is an achievement. If you like Femi, you'll love this CD, and you'll be glad for his international success".
