Heather Phares of AllMusic called Woman "an enjoyable album" that's "built on layers of fondly remembered vintage funk and disco, pre-EDM French Touch, and Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay's own work."[6] Danny Wright of DIY noted that the LP sees Justice "adding some fierce slap to the bass, bringing psychedelic disco to the prog and metal dance mix" with a "sound is still huge, still bludgeoningly and pleasingly direct."[8]
