    I'm so disappointed with this album. After he released Bubblin, I got excited, he released Tints, I got even more excited, then he released Who R U? and my excitement was through the rough. Having just finished listening to it, it was quite underwhelming.

    Paak did not bring anything exciting to the table, lyrically very blend and average. The album seemed to lack energy, and some of the    I'm so disappointed with this album.

    The features give this album more life, unfortunately Paak gets outdone in almost every song with a feature on it. Where paak is at his best, Lyrically is in the song Sweet Chick, coming up with some clever and funny lyrics, but even that song disappoints a bit in the end.

    Paak will look back at this and know he can do much, MUCH better.

    Yeah uh this is probably the most disappointing release of the year by a mile. Bland production, average lyrics, generic performances and lack of focus is not how I thought I'd ever be describing a .Paak album, but here we are. After 3 listens, I can safely say this album is saved by its features. The only incredible songs to be found are due to its features.

    Uneven but mostly engaging third solo album. [Feb 2019, p.30]

    Certainly, the music here is very often brilliant. ... .Paak's tendency for juvenile and preening bad-boy bluster is a recurring weakness. [Feb 2019, p.84]

    Ultimately, the bigged up production doesn’t suit .Paak’s soulful tendencies, which are further lost in his switch to rap. There are a few highlights, sure, but not nearly enough for an artist who I would’ve placed bets would be the next Big Thing.
