Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 3]
With a 3.5 out of 5 star rating Sharon Mawer of AllMusic declared " Twice as Kool also featured most of the early U.S. funk hits, but for an unknown reason omitted "Jungle Boogie ." Obviously later compilations added the big ballad hits from the mid-'80s, but in the summer of 1983, Twice as Kool was an ideal introduction to a band, who, despite some big singles, had largely been overlooked."[ 3]
