Anna Rose from The Music AU said the album "is a tender, star-studded offering, one that shows a maturity of soul and sound without washing out his signature hybrid of hip hop and pop." adding "[the] choice in collaborators brings a certain depth to his music." but concluded saying "...without the talents of musicians borrowed from other genres, this would be a pretty bland album."[7] The album was recognised as one of the 20 Best Album Covers of 2019 by Billboard.[8]
