    There is a real adventurous spirit these lithe, freewheeling bummer-bot jams.

    SAVE ME, opposed to previous collaborative EPs such as 2016’s Purple Reign with Metro Boomin, feels incomplete for it’s lacking the divine energy felt from previous Future projects.

    [“XanaX Damage” is] a flash of greatness bogged down by poor execution, which could stand as a theme for the EP as a whole.

    The best thing about “Save Me” may be that it’s a very small bite to digest, clocking in at just barely over 20 minutes after the conclusion of “Love Thy Enemies.”

    Aforementioned moments of experimentation show a continued development of Future's "Hendrix" alter ego, but there's something to be said for getting to know him over a longer runtime.

    There’s no denying Future’s ability to constantly curate content, but perhaps with a little more time and focus, Save Me could have been significantly better.

Honestly, this project doesn't feel amazing, but it's good. Just the cohesion between Hendrix's voice and the dark theme of the album just makes a beautiful atmosphere. You can defenitely feel the pain while he's singing, the emotions come to the surface. The execution might be the worst thing about this EP, though, as Future sound was never centred about his feelings (apart from few songs) and his performance leaves something to be desired.
    It might not be as good as every other Pluto project, but Save Me shows the emotional and sensible side of the Atl rapper, who proves not to be just a generic trapper, but also has a sentimental side.    … Full Review »

    A flash of true brilliance on the opener and some intriguing vocal harmonies are high points of this EP. It's a solid addition to Future's catalogue.
