Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat

[3] The featured artists on the album are Robyn, Yung Lean, BB Trickz, Ariana Grande, the 1975, Jon Hopkins, Troye Sivan, Addison Rae, Caroline Polachek, Bladee, Lorde, the Japanese House, Tinashe, Julian Casablancas, Bon Iver, Shygirl, Billie Eilish, Kesha and A. G. Cook.

[20] Writing for The Cut, Cat Zhang mostly negatively criticized the choice of featured artists, except for Grande, Matty Healy, Polachek, Tinashe and Shygirl.

Instead, Zhang expressed her desire for features from Rosalía, the Black Eyed Peas, Vince Staples, Rina Sawayama and Lily Allen.

Fans know she's deserved this level of acclaim for years, but the creativity and generosity on display here is more proof that it's high time mainstream finally caught up to her.

[25] Rachel Aroesti from The Guardian described it as a testament to Charli XCX's "unstoppable" creative phase, giving the album a perfect score of 5 out of 5.

[28] Similarly, Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani felt XCX created a "self-reflexive reaction to her success with a companion piece that's just as relevant—and just as reflective of the zeitgeist—as its parent album.

[29] The Daily Telegraph gave a mostly positive review, highlighting the star power of the album's many collaborators, but questioned if the myriad features was a "cynical marketing ploy [...] designed to go viral".
