An early review from [[Rolling Stone]] praised the new elements of the album: ''a brass-and-organ-driven take on the gospel standard "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" and two originals: the gutbucket funk of "Plain Jane" and "Get Away," a gorgeous soul vamp with a refrain – "Keep singin' that melody!" – that whets the appetite for a full-fledged Sly comeback.''<ref>http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/im-back-family-friends-20110816</ref>. [[AllMusic]]'s Stephen Thomas Erlewine was less positive, noting of the new tracks that they were ''saddled with the same awful production that hobbles the re-creations, the same sticky, tacky, desperate replication of the past that only underscores just how long ago Sly’s golden years were.''<ref>http://www.allmusic.com/album/im-back-family-friends-r2242176/review</ref> |

Critical Reception
An early review from Rolling Stone praised the new elements of the album: a brass-and-organ-driven take on the gospel standard "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" and two originals: the gutbucket funk of "Plain Jane" and "Get Away," a gorgeous soul vamp with a refrain – "Keep singin' that melody!" – that whets the appetite for a full-fledged Sly comeback.[3]. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine was less positive, noting of the new tracks that they were saddled with the same awful production that hobbles the re-creations, the same sticky, tacky, desperate replication of the past that only underscores just how long ago Sly’s golden years were.[4]
