Critical reception

Gary Gerard Hamilton from Associated Press lauded the album as "fearless", "travers through a spectrum of R&B sonics and vibes, from introspective to seductive, not shying away from any of the pressure that can come with attempting to replicate the success of a song like "ICU." Writing for NME, Puah Ziwei concludes that the album "is deeper, richer and more wide-ranging than anything we’ve ever seen from Jones." Maura Johnston of Rolling Stone praised the album's production, writing: "The album’s sonic touchpoints are varied — Timbaland-inspired electro squelches, Quiet Storm synth blankets, urgent acoustic-guitar arpeggios, swaying Caribbean beats — but Jones’ steady presence brings them all together in a cohesive whole."
