• "Sometimes the path to re-discovery leads us back to where originally we began. Chaka Khan's Funk This album reminds us why we fell in love with her over 30 years ago. The reason is because she's funky!" - Soul Tracks

• "Chaka Khan has never bothered with great albums because she has such a great voice -- juicy, airy, spunky, transported. Though she's fifty-four, it's also unfrayed, one reason this committed if never classic comeback makes its mark." - Rolling Stone

• "Khan's vocal delivery, which is the only thing anyone listening to the album even cares about, is more resonant and versatile than it was on Classikhan. More surprising, she occasionally aims for introspection by swooping down into her husky contralto register. Between the low notes and her dependably crisp, reedy high ones, she's still every woman." - Slant
