Musow Danse received a score of 86 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[1] Uncut stated that "the songs are rich in both melody and syncopation",[4] while Mojo commented that "there are 808s and sensory synths galore, but it's the powerful message and those voices – tough soulful leads and contrastingly sweet gospel harmonies – that hold sway here".[2] Adriane Pontecorvo of PopMatters stated that "the energy is as vital as ever as the group continues to celebrate womanhood over some of their most engaging beats to date", also calling it "a brilliant third installation in the Les Amazones d'Afrique discography thus far".[3]
Rolling Stone's Chinonso Ihekire wrote that "the album seduces with glee, setting soothing traditional harmonies atop varied tempos, feeling more dynamic and cohesive than the group's previous albums in its embrace of electro-pop, funk, and folk fusions". Ihekire also felt that "the balance of sonic opposites on Musow Danse is a huge part of the album's appeal".[5]
