The [[Allmusic]] review awarded the album 4 stars commenting "In essence, the track is a sexual guide set to music. As such, it features both spoken narration as well as sung lyrics. 'Na Poi'{{'s}} rhythms churn and grind through several notable movements—including a spirited percussion section and several tight horn arrangements. These hark back to the same type of perpetual funk that became the cornerstone of [[Parliament (band)|Parliament]] and [[Funkadelic]]. Initially, the repercussions of such blatant sexuality resulted in the track being banned by the Nigerian Broadcasting Company".<ref name="Allmusic">Planer, L., [http://www.allmusic.com/album/na-poi-mw0001109976 Allmusic Review] accessed May 9, 2014</ref>
