Critical reception

Woman received a score of 69 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 22 critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. 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." 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." Mehan Jayasuriya of Pitchfork gave the album 5.2 out of 10, calling it "middle-of-the-road pop: generically funky melodies, cheesy guitar solos, forgettable vocals, lyrics that are downright embarrassing." Kitty Empire of The Guardian gave the album 3 out of 5 stars.
