Background
In a 2020 interview, Yung Lean stated that he felt the album was a "compilation in a way".[4] That year, Yung Lean recorded much music while touring to promote his album Warlord.[4]
Critical reception
The Observer felt that the album was a retreat of the "chilly synths and affectless monotone in torpid, ever-decreasing circles without even the sparks of energy that livened up this year’s Warlord album".[5]
