From what I've seen from other places, more people seem to arbitrarily dislike this album because of Can's involvement than arbitrarily praise it. Something about their krautrock heroes getting involved elsewhere doesn't sit well with them.

Sure, Can is one of my favorite krautrock acts, but just because they bring their greatness here, doesn't mean I feel swayed to award them bonus points on things other than the actual merit of the songs.
