[2] The project features collaborations with Jeremih, Kaytranada, Kaash Paige, Absolutely, Wax Motif, Buddy, Channel Tres, Christian Blue, and Tinashe's brothers Quiet Child and Kudzai.
[12] The single was promoted with a music video inspired by the horror movie The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and was directed by Raul Rosco Guerrero.
The music video for "HMU for a Good Time" (featuring Channel Tres) was surprise released on June 24, 2022, directed by Jonah Haber and choreographed by Jojo Gomez.
[17] Clash Music called the album a "a sparkling display of personal evolution" and despite not being a radically innovative record, it is coherent with "artful production", and "never having a dull moment".
The album also "gives off the same energy as Tinashe's early mixtapes such as Black Water and In Case We Die, reminding us of the singular artist that [she] is and always has been.
"[20] Pitchfork named 333 her best work to date, stating it as a "showcase for her omnivorous tastes and supremely light touch.
"[18] Stereogum said Tinashe spends most of the album "sliding across an eclectic landscape of sounds, centered on fluttery impressionistic R&B but just as likely to veer into neon arena anthems (the Stargate-produced 'The Chase'), undulating synth-pop ('Undo (Back To My Heart)' with Wax Motif), breathless dance-adjacent hip-hop (the Buddy collab 'Pasadena'), or darkly spacious slow jams (the Kaash Paige duet 'Angels')."
