  1. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    The album is consistently rap-heavy with some more classic Doja-pop sprinkled around. It combines all of Doja’s past lives with some more heavy-hitting punchlines

  2. 9.0 |   American Songwriter

    A sharp knife to cut through the blizzard of sounds and styles out there. But at the same time a fiery party, something you can witness from the solar system. With the blazing soundtrack to accompany it

  9. 5.9 |   Pitchfork

    In proving herself as a rapper, Doja Cat offers up an uneven album that is accomplished but gets bogged down in reactive and repetitive songs

  10. 5.0 |   Slant Magazine

    The album is the work of a talented MC in search of the right tonal balance
