{$Daft Punk}'s full-length debut is a {\funk}-{\house} hailstorm, giving real form to a style of straight-ahead {\dance} music not attempted since the early fusion days of on-the-one {\funk} and dance-party {\disco}. Thick, rumbling bass, vocoders, choppy breaks and beats, and a certain brash naiveté permeate the record from start to finish, giving it the edge of an almost certain classic. While a few fall flat, the best tracks make this one essential. ~ Sean Cooper, All Music Guide
