Background

This closed out his relationship with Atlantic Records. At over thirty tracks it is a substantial listen, and its length became the main critical complaint — a recurring theme across his catalogue and one he has occasionally acknowledged.

Reception

It peaked at number two, narrowly missing a third consecutive number one. Critics were divided along familiar lines: the melodic writing was praised, the runtime was not.

What came next

The move to a Never Broke Again partnership with Motown followed, and the release pace increased rather than slowed — two studio albums and two mixtapes arrived in 2023 alone.

The length problem

At over thirty tracks and ninety minutes it drew the criticism that has followed most of his releases. He has acknowledged the issue in interviews without changing the approach, and the two 2023 albums show why: the market rewards volume on streaming even when reviewers do not.

Closing out Atlantic

This was the final release of the Atlantic and Artist Partner Group era that began in 2017. Five years, four studio albums and a very large mixtape catalogue.

Reception

It peaked at number two, narrowly missing a third consecutive number one. The melodic writing was generally praised and the runtime generally was not.
