Critical reception

Writing for ''This Song Is Sick'', Austin Miller felt that with "kinetic tracks" that "keep the energy turned up with dynamic beats and feverish verses", such as "Vaccine", "God Might Judge", and "See You Space Cowboy", and songs that "float through a smoother current", like "Get Up" and "Call Me", "Logic's masterful lyricism and limitless flow run the gamut of brutal self-honesty to supportive optimism, all without any signs that this project is anything less than some of his best work yet".
