"This is a truly great album. The energy, insanity, and desire to rock that Sly and his Family bring make this funkier than James Brown and rawer than Iggy."

"An absolutely brilliant record. Psychedelic soul, all fantastic. Stand!, is without doubt a total classic. Everyday people, stand, I want to take you higher, you can make it if you try, all great tracks, and then you have, don't call me nigger, Whitey, and the rock workout of the epic, sex machine. A genius record."
- @garycottier (Rating: 100/100)
