Critical reception

The New York Times wrote: "Like most of Mr. Tosh's albums, Mama Africa is uneven—Mr. Tosh's raw baritone can be inexpressive—but in 'Glasshouse' and a few other songs Mr. Tosh shows both vehemence and a preacher's timing." The Globe and Mail determined that "Mama Africa has more snap rhythmically than anything he's done since Bush Doctor."
