Rolling Stone | [7] |
From contemporary reviews, Chip Stern of Rolling Stone, borrowed the styles of George Clinton, but that Zapp have 'subsumed the 'rap' to the dictates of the rhythm section – a twangy cubist mélange of rhyme, dance time and choruses of synthesized voices. No one's going to mistake this singing for that of the trendy syntho-pop bands' and declared it superior to their first album.[7] Stern recommended the album 'For those who find the Sixties section of their record collections more danceable than the superficial R&B; of today, Zapp is a smart, brash alternative.'[7]Ken Tucker of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the album a five out of five star rating, noting that Roger Troutman has 'managed to make his languid funk style sound devilshly sexy and urgent on [Zapp II].' and declared the album to be 'the party record of the month'.[6]
