Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings Pitchfork called Declassified "modern funk that's not afraid to integrate with every other influence held dear by each of its 14 members."[9] The Washington Post thought that the band "are skillful cut-ups, whether they're reconstituting a '70s-funk shuffle ('Up All Night'), toying with what sounds like a PBS-theme fanfare ('Some People'), appropriating Steve Reich's modal shuffle ('Undercover Life') or narcotizing the Beatles' 'Martha My Dear'."[5] The Orange County Register declared that, "were it to lose some of the cloying Spyro Gyra-isms it uses as a crutch, this New York outfit ... would be the tightest bunch of funketeers since the Average White Band, if not P-Funk."[10]
Bass Player wrote: "Ever maturing and enduring, GC shows polish and panache on its latest without abandoning previous experiments with multi-flavored trance-like rhythms."[11] The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed the album "stuttering soul and party-psychedelia creamy with lush melody and Latin grooves."[12] The Boston Herald opined: "Freed by their variety-is-the-spice approach, the New York group is looser and moves better while sharpening its breezy future grooves."[13]
AllMusic wrote that the album "finds the congregation in a most jubilant mood, happy to simply stretch out on a series of infectious singalong jams."[14]
