"Growing up to the world as Fela Kuti's son will naturally always cast something of a shadow over Seun Kuti's music, but Black Times comes across as both a respectful reminder of his legacy and a demonstration of Kuti's own fresh talent".

"Consisting of eight tracks and a run time of just over an hour, Black Times stretches out its songs in an effective and intoxicating manner. Seun Kuti has inherited not only the lyrical heft of his father's legacy but also - thankfully - the musical stylings. It's a breathless, topical, danceable ride, and an important chapter in the annals of art as protest. Kuti is truly his father's son".

"Black Times crackles with so much combustion that it's nearly uncontainable. Under the leadership of Seun Kuti, Egypt 80 whips up an insistent fist-pumping protest party that sounds tighter, stronger and meaner than it had on the bandleader's previous three discs ... Contending with his father's towering legacy is no easy feat, but with Black Times, Seun claims Afrobeat's throne with indefatigable fervency and unflinching authority".
