"Though billed as a Madlib solo album, Hebden's sonic fingerprints are all over it, and it's sometimes reminiscent of downtempo Four Tet as well as the freewheeling collage styles of the Madlib Medicine Show, Beat Konducta, and Rock Konducta releases. Instead of focusing on a certain genre, location, or era, Sound Ancestors reflects the producer's wide-ranging influences, just as comfortably pulling from post-punk and psych-rock as from fusion and Brazilian jazz. The album similarly darts between different moods and atmospheres".

"On his collaborative album with Four Tet's Kieran Hebden, the producer, multi-instrumentalist, DJ, and archivist remains masterful by simply turning what he hears into something new and revelatory".

"Arranged by Four Tet, the producer's stunning album is poignant and sincere, combining beats, jazz, reggae toasts and vocal snippets into a kind of folklore".

"Sound Ancestors er et ambitiøst, petriskålsagtigt projekt, hvor to urgamle lyduniverser - Madlibs funkede, amerikanske vestkysthip hop og Four Tets britiske, eksperimenterende elektronika - bliver forsøgt integreret i hinanden. Det kunne være blevet til en historieløs hybrid - men albummets indre harmoni, sammenhængskraft og historiske vingesus imponerer fra begyndelsen. Numrene har deres længde, eller snarere korthed, fra Madlibs traditionelle hip hop, mens de mange akustiske perkussion-indslag nedstammer fra Four Tets sædvanligvis langstrakte lydmeditationer. Samtlige numre er altså både korte og tætpakkede, hvilket gør albummet utrolig rigt på underholdende lyd".
