Teenage Emotions doesn’t have a defined aesthetic and feels like Yachty is still experimenting, and his refusal to rely on formulas is commendable for a 19-year-old overnight sensation

AU Review
The album is very polarising in the fact that one will either love it or hate it, but the highs outweigh the lows by a lot, meaning the album is a substantial debut for a name that will be around for a while, like it or not

Follow-up to 2016’s Lil Boat and Summer Songs 2 mixtapes takes artistic risks without discarding the Auto-Tuned antics that made him one to watch

Pitchfork
His debut album is well-polished and full of pop-rap confections, but his polarizing style hardly captures the nuance suggested by the album’s cover and title

Pretty Much Amazing
The best song here is “Better”, an affectionate, steel drum-driven sendup of saccharine cuddle-pop

The Atlanta teen’s very modern take on hip-hop is buoyant and direct. Shame about the misogyny

The Line Of Best Fit
This album proves that a great (or at least very good) Lil Yachty record is achievable, but that when it comes it will have as little rapping on it as possible

While the album may be called Teenage Emotions, there’s almost no inkling of anything that normal people, let alone teenagers, could relate to

An instrumental version of the album would be a blast as you wouldn’t then have to contend with McCollum’s inarticulate flow

PopMatters
Yachty’s loose rudder on Teenage Emotions causes him to lose his bearings as he only half-commits to “capturing all aspects of teenagers” while the other half boasts of a life unrelatable to most

In the album's best moments, Teenage Emotions feels like a bit of a misnomer, but it's a little too apt at others, given Yachty's juvenilia throughout
