Critical reception

edit

The album has received good reviews with Sidney Madden of XXL Magazine saying she shows growth and versatility on the album.[4] Robert Christgau from Vice gave the record a "B+", writing that it "begins with three rather joyful tracks—electric-celeste grindin' pledge 'Desire' to burbling-synth grindin' saga 'Been on My Grind' to—finally, some fun—Big Sean transactional-sex deal 'Back Up.' Then that killjoy Future starts nosing around, and I mean literally, in her pussy, which is as joyful as that one gets. And then comes two pieces of theoretical product".[5]
