Pitchfork5.0/10[1]

Miles Raymer of Pitchfork called it "an interesting, if not always successful experiment" with "a few bright moments", concluding that it is "a compelling argument for letting these kind of pop stars off the leash".[1] Consequence felt that the mixtape has a "manic stride" and described it as "a candy-coated hit of molly, a pupil-dilating emotional explosion, a puzzling burst of Grimes-y weirdo soul".[2]
