"La Confusion includes some fine, distinctive work featuring powerful vocals from each of the duo, but they lose their edge thanks to the over-use of keyboards and electronica, with Amadou's guitar sadly under-employed. The album is patchily impressive, from the driving, funky opening of Diarra, to the bluesy start of Massah Allah, but both ease off into more predictable, bland territory. I suspect the new material will sound far more exciting performed live".
