    I'm not going to go into song specifics, but the album was descent. I really like the style that Earl uses in this album and the brief and short tracks appeal to me. However, his lyrical game wasn't there and many times it seemed as though he was repeating himself unintentionally. The lyrics were also fairly blunt, they didn't bring anything to the table as the expression goes. TheI'm not going to go into song specifics, but the album was descent.

Overall, he could have done better, but it isn't that bad, so I won't criticize it more.… Expand

    It’s hard to get with the tiresome self-deprecation of that album title, the way he hides his pain behind a smile and hides his smile behind a dope aesthetic on that artfully blurred cover. When Earl does choose to project beyond his navel he has a powerful, booming voice and an ear for novelty. Where his gaze shifts to the outside world he can be inspirational. [Feb 2019, p.56]

    By combining the searing intimacy of a boombox-constructed mixtape with progressive and delirious bars, Earl's third album offers a rare kind of insight, sagacious from a 24-year-old. [Mar 2019, p.80]

    For all its signs of progression, the record is never heavy-handed with its ambition. Its unforced attempt at making sense of the fraught present, at finding shelter without resorting to convenient escape, is a rare and, dare I say, sincere feat.
