  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Needn't coast on others' charisma when his music has more than enough of it's own. Print edition only

    Ambient funk and jittery robotic grooves. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Expansive, intergalactic form. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   The Music

    G-funk is still a ridiculous term, but its sound is pure pleasure. This is it
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    The theme of perseverance resonates strongly on the album, and the imperfections and vulnerabilities in his vocals help to encapsulate the artistic progression

  8. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Invite The Light stays true to the hallmarks of Dam Funk's sound; winning formulas never need much adjustment

  9. 8.0 |   All Music

    More outward-looking than Toeachizown, not only through its dizzying and multigenerational list of collaborators, but also through Riddick's increased ability and confidence as a vocalist who promotes positivity

  10. 7.6 |   Pitchfork

    Taken as a whole, though, it’s unmistakably new and unique, and it'll make you thankful that we get to live in a world where funk exists

  11. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    A modern-day prophet for the funk, his is a musical philosophy well worth investigating further

  12. 7.0 |   Spin

    Perfect for those times when you need gentle inspiration for cracking open the blinds and facing the world, but the album’s lithium-like vibes are more stabilizing than invigorating

  13. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    As one should expect from a Dam-Funk album, Invite the Light is richly musical and absorbingly singular

  14. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    On Invite the Light, funk remains not only Dam-Funk’s backbone, but his beating heart, his brain, his codpiece

  15. 6.0 |   Time Out

    It might not scream out for repeated listens, but it’s an enjoyably funky ride

  16. 6.0 |   Gig Soup

    There’s a truly great album hidden within ‘Invite The Light,’ and like sifting through a mixed crate of dusty records, there’s an excitement in discovering all of them
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Ear-catching cameos from Snoop, Ariel Pink and Ohio Player Walter “Junie” Morrison can’t allay concerns that Riddick lacks the star quality that separates the game changer from the journeyman

  18. 6.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    Without succumbing to nostalgia, Dâm-Funk has created new in-roads for 21st century producers to continue and evolve the limitless ideals of funk
