Reviews for Mankind Woman were mostly positive. QRO explained how the sound of the album is more relaxed compared to the previous bands Bjork has been a member of.[2] Many critics point out similarities with 1960s–70s rock influences including Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Some note the more psychedelic and political tracks off the album including "Nation of Indica" and "Somebody".[3][2] Metal Rules called the album "a very easy listening tome of Stoner and Desert music".[1]
