Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly wrote that the album melds "the rough rhythms of Bahia with modern technology."[12] The Chicago Tribune stated that the "samba-reggae" sound "joins thundering Afro-Brazilian bloco afro percussion with the well-recognized rhythms and social messages of reggae."[11]
The Province said that Kindala adds "reggae and African rhythms to a mighty orchestra of latin percussion."[13] Newsday determined that it "leans most heavily towards a percussive unification of samba's big-bottom strut with reggae's languorous lope."[14]
AllMusic wrote: "In contrast to so much of the softer, more jazz-influenced pop that has come out of Rio de Janeiro, Kindala is grittier and notably percussive, yet consistently melodic."[10]
