Motolani Alake of Pulse Nigeria opined that the tracklists could have done with a few tweaks, and that the album could have also done without "Sawa Sawa", "Odoyewu" and "Omeihoma". He also noted that "Flavour is unrepentantly African on the album - its title is perfect." In a nutshell, he rated the album 6.9/10.[9]

While reviewing the album, Dozie Asogwa and Chioma Onyefuosaonu of TooXclusive noted that Flavour's attempt to capture elements that show African diversity was well done, further saying that "For an intentional art created and a piece that might be able to transcend time, this album Flavour of Africa is rated a 8/10".[10]

This Day in an article noted that a track from the album, "Looking Nyash", was getting negative reviews following a scene in which Flavour carried a naked lady on his shoulders.[5]
