    Intellectual yet tedious and slow, new yet standard and typical for Chi's Mick Jenkins, The Healing Component is too comfortable in MJ's warm little niche.

    Too often, Jenkins's use of melody fails to create sticky songs in a pop sense, but it does offset his gruff baritone and stern messaging. ... Jenkins is at his best when taking everyday scenarios and cutting to their emotional core.

    The Healing Component would have benefitted for a couple of those brighter moments to keep things moving, but it’s a small gripe.

    THC is filled with indications that it's a labour of love, in every way. Single "Spread Love" feels like the main objective of the record. With help of BADBADNOTGOOD, theMind, Noname and others, the album comes together with live instrumentation and smooth production.
