According to the academic Bill Martin, One Nation Under a Groove is indebted "a good deal more to progressive rock than most critics are willing to admit, as well as progressive soul, Hendrix, and Sly Stone". ==Critical reception==
Critical reception
Susan Toepfer of the New York Daily News called the album "another skillful funkcollection from George, Bootsy and a considerable portion of the P-Funk crew." Steve Huey of AllMusic claimed that "the whole album is full of fuzzed-out, Hendrix-style guitar licks, even when the music is clearly meant for the dancefloor...One Nation Under a Groove is the best realization of Funkadelic's ambitions, and one of the best funk albums ever released." Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly found, "One Nation Under a Groove is a deep source of riffs and ideas for '90s rock and rap ... a glorious distillation of Funkadelic founder George Clinton's concepts of verbal anarchy and tight funk grooves." ==Track listing==
