Within his B review, Otis Gowens of the Dayton Daily News claimed, "Sexy-soul swinging music; a likely description for Adventures in Black Sunshine (Narada Jazz/Rice) by Incognito."[5]
Johnathan Widran of AllMusic, in a 4/5-star review exclaimed, "The big story on 2003's Who Needs Love was the inclusion of a Brazilian vibe via Ed Motta, and here it's the return after several albums of the honey soul-voiced Maysa Leak, who was a big part of the group's rise to acid jazz prominence in the early '90s...Even with some 1,000 musicians passing through Incognito's ever-revolving doors and ever-evolving sound, Maunick's admiration for the soul music that first inspired him comes through brilliantly every time out."[4]
