"Beenie Man along with executive producer Patrick Roberts no longer felt the need to overwhelm audiences with a smorgasbord of sound, and thus Many Moods of Moses is a more coherent set than its predecessor"
"Most girls would be a bit wary when the DJ declares his love on "Sincerely," but with the backing's insistent nyahbinghi beats, the lovely choral harmonies, and Beenie's hypnotic performance, it's hard not to fall under his spell"
City Pages also gave a positive review, saying of the album:
"Meet Moses Davis--a.k.a. Beenie Man--and check the many moods he explores on his fourth and most prominent U.S. release. Having started at 8 years old (thus earning a nickname that means "little man"), Beenie's a dancehall veteran at age 24" "True to its name, Many Moods dabbles in various styles, yet it succeeds consistently at working new sounds into dancehall's framework. Beenie Man expands dancehall's vocabulary far enough to leave stretch marks"
