Background and release
Critical reception
Billboard gave a positive review and remarked on the versatility of the tracks, stating, "[she] hones into her musical talents and offers up her vulnerable side on tracks like "Doubtful" and "Pressure." She also hits the ladies with the partystarter "Got Me F--ked Up" and flaunts her flawlessness as an African queen for "Hands Free.""[2] Rap-Up also praised the EP, and noted, "over 16 minutes, the multi-faceted star delivers banger after banger through various moods and themes. From the opening scene, in which Keke encourages listeners to believe in themselves, Palmer sets the tone for an artistic journey that includes documentary-style vignettes."[3]
