'The keeper is “Insurance Man for the Funk,” 12 minutes and 39 seconds of pure P-Funk; it has everything: layered sounds, a toe-tapping midtempo beat, and some incredible horns.' allmusic.com

'The second version of the Brides included Dawn Silva, Sheila Horne, and Jeanette 'Mackie' McGruder. They released "Never Buy Texas From a Cowboy" to great critical acclaim.' Discogs.com

'The original Brides of Funkenstein were Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva, two vocalists who were background singers for Sly and the Family Stone in the mid-70s. George Clinton first met them while Sly was opening for Parliament / Funkadelic and offered them to join the P.Funk camp in 1977.
The year later, the Brides debut album "Funk or Walk" was released. With the help of their hit single "Disco to Go", the album went gold. They began touring with P-Funk for the "One Nation Under a Groove" tour, but Lynn left the group in 1979, due to financial disputes and her becoming pregnant.' Discogs.com

"A superb album, with the newer, younger funk lineup (Blackbyrd McKnight, Ron Dunbar, Ron Ford, Donnie Sterling, Lige Curry, etc). The album overcomes the absence of Bernie Worrell with great performances by the young musicians." Discogs.com

'Uncle Jam is a solid continuation with the title track and "Field Manoevres". Side One is a killer with "Not Just Knee Deep" and "Freak of the Week" ' Discogs.com

"A consistently interesting, if unremarkable Funkadelic creation. Notable for being the last album to feature the original Parliament singing lineup, as Fuzzy Haskins bolted to notch out a couple of solo albums, and Grady & Calvin didn't stick around either. Like Tales of Kidd Funkadelic, recorded at roughly the same time, the album lacks a consistent & coherent theme, and also suffers from the absence of Eddie Hazel." Discogs.com

"In general, the album's songs are interesting but certainly not classics." Discogs.com

"Funkadelic takes yet another different turn, this time coming out with shorter, punchier songs and relying less on long jams" Discogs.com

"Perhaps the most consistent Funkadelic album, from beginning to end. The stylistic jumps that Funkadelic likes to make are less jarring on this album, with a much smoother flow from song to song." Discogs.com

"Unbelievably, this was viewed as a more commercial than their earlier stuff, and they hoped it would be a big hit! It wasn't, but it is a classic." Discogs.com
