Reception
The Allmusic review by Sean Westergaard states "I, Pharaoh has some fine material, but the less than perfect sound quality detracts somewhat from the experience ... pieces like this, where Ra blends history and myth, are always interesting. I, Pharaoh is a decent album, but probably not worth the prohibitive cost of most Saturn LP's to all but the most serious Sun Ra fans".
