== Critical reception ==
In a contemporary review for ''The Village Voice'', music critic Robert Christgau said that ''The Best Best of Fela Kuti'' is the essential album from Kuti and "a masterful piece of compilation for an artist who deserves the best." Christgau felt that, "because long can wear out fast", it is "great" that more than half of the songs are "edited or cut unceremoniously in half", and wrote that, "Long though they still are, all are marked by top-notch tirades, explosive horn blasts, () riffs he'll never improve no matter how often he tries." Christgau named it the fifth best album of 2000 in his list for the Pazz & Jop critics' poll. ''Vibe'' magazine's Harry Allen said that it has Kuti's "finest work". In 2005, ''Spin'' magazine ranked ''The Best Best of Fela Kuti'' the fourth best world music album of all time.
The album's 2009 reissue by Knitting Factory Records received universal acclaim from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, it received an average score of 93, based on 5 reviews.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Best of the Black President Reviews )〕 Allmusic's Thom Jurek recommended the album even for listeners who own all of Kuti's previous music: "this is a killer mix and needs to be in the collection anyway." Michaelangelo Matos of ''The A.V. Club'' credited it for doing "the impossible by summing up a singular performer who liked his songs to jam on out to a half-hour or more.
Pitchfork Media's Mike Powell wrote that, although it does not have "''all'' of Fela's best material", the album "isn't just a good place for someone starting out, it's probably the only Fela album many will need to own." In a less enthusiastic review, Will Hermes of ''Rolling Stone'' magazine said that the music is "killer", but criticized the lack of recording info in the liner notes: "The music speaks for itself, but presidential history deserves better."
