AllMusic | [2] |
Los Angeles Times | [3] |
New Musical Express | 9/10 [4] |
The Los Angeles Times called the album "a put-the-needle-anywhere LP that can only add to Troutman's still-growing reputation as a man with a solid plan for funk's future." [3] The Orlando Sentinel labeled it a "funky, jazzy, rocking album." [5] The St. Petersburg Times deemed "I Want to Be Your Man" "one of the best records of '87." [6] The Sydney Morning Herald judged "Been This Way Before" "a dance track beyond George Clinton, a place where no other artist has gone before." [7]
AllMusic considered Unlimited! to be Troutman's best solo album. [2]
