Best two reviews:
1) The Guardian- Madlib channels a deep, intertwining lineage of Black music through Sound Ancestors like folklore oration, storytelling with the sorcery of a beatmaker who knows how to make an instrumental really sing. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >
2) Resident Advisor- Sound Ancestors is an ideal entry into the world of Madlib. (Rating: 80) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
6) AllMusic- While Sound Ancestors as a whole seems as lifetime-encompassing as Donuts, it doesn't feel quite as focused. Still, it sounds recognizably like both Madlib and Four Tet while taking their music into directions where neither artist has ventured before, and its highlights are life-affirming.

7) Exclaim- Sound Ancestors is a mixed bag if ever there was one. It's funky, it's psychedelic, it's jazzy, dirty, clean, and mean. It's Madlib. (Rating: 70) Read Full Review >
