Pitchfork7.6/10[1]

Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote that it is "almost as varied in emotions and scenarios" as Tink's previous release, Pillow Talk, and felt that the producers "serve up another round of uncluttered production" that provides Tink "ample space".[4] Reviewing the album for Pitchfork, Tatiana Lee Rodriguez felt that although "a couple of safe songs threaten to slow the momentum, the Chicago artist sounds more defiant and grounded than ever" on the album, which "flows through heartbreak, eventually remembering her worth and finding a graceful sense of self-awareness". Rodriguez concluded by calling the album "not just Tink's exhale, it's her ecstasy, and her vengeance".[1]
