Critical reception
Animal Magic received both mixed and positive reviews upon release. Allmusic gave the album a 2.5/5, stating that "the album at first is repulsive and repetitive, but slowly builds it's way into a steady and enjoyable debut". Pitchfork Media gave the album a score of 7.6/10, praising Bonobo (aka Simon Green) "for his smooth and calming sound, but detrimental use of previous Ninja Tune and Tru Thoughts records". Even with this critical ire, Animal Magic to this day has a large and prominent fan-base, having launched a whole audience for Bonobo's future and present music releases.
