The [[Allmusic]] review awarded the album 4½ stars commenting "Kuti was highly eclectic, and his innovative, visionary music contained elements of funk/soul, jazz, and blues, as well as African music. That eclectic spirit proves to be a major asset on ''Shakara'', which consists of two 13-minute performances by Kuti's Africa 70 band".<ref name="Allmusic">Henderson, A., [http://www.allmusic.com/album/shakara-mw0000951377 Allmusic Review] accessed May 12, 2014</ref>
