Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings Patricia Smith, of The Boston Globe, listed Funk of Ages as the best album of 1990.[8] The Chicago Tribune wrote that "Worrell's surprisingly supple voice shines on a couple of melodic reggae numbers, 'Real Life Dreams' and 'Sing'."[9] The Toronto Star determined that "the musicianship is adventurous enough to make for a funky, wide-ranging diversion."[10]
