Upon release, F-1 Trillion received mostly positive reviews from music critics and debuted atop the Billboard 200 and UK Albums Charts.
[6] F-1 Trillion features collaborations with numerous artists from the country genre, including Tim McGraw, Hank Williams Jr., Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Ernest, Sierra Ferrell, Chris Stapleton, Hardy, and Billy Strings, while the album's production was handled by Louis Bell, Charlie Handsome, and Hoskins.
On July 26, 2024, Malone released the third single of the album, "Guy for That", which features American country music singer Luke Combs.
[11][12] "What Don't Belong to Me" was sent to Italian radio stations as the album's fourth single on September 12, 2024, followed by "Losers" featuring Jelly Roll on January 9, 2025.
[16] Robin Murray of Clash gave the album a positive review, commending Malone's creativity and his commercial appeal.
[1] In a positive review, Joseph Hudak of Rolling Stone wrote that the album would have benefited from containing fewer features and more solo songs from Malone.
She wrote that although F-1 Trillion "loses some of his distinctive sound – and has none of the cool experiments of Beyoncé's record – it also showcases his undeniable songcrafting [sic] chops.
[21] Neil McCormick of The Telegraph commended the album, writing that it represents "pure good ol' boy country" and that "Malone proves genuinely good at this stuff, with a sharp lyrical wit and sweet singing voice that rises to heights of soulful passion when needs be, notably on the disco flecked 'What Don't Belong to Me' and twisty alt-folk of 'Nosedive'".
Cragg wrote that "there's a lot to enjoy about F-1 Trillion, and it feels tailor-made for chart domination, but as much as Malone felt hip hop was limiting his oeuvre, it at least gifted him moments to really let loose, as on the ludicrous epic 'Take What You Want' featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott.
The tunes are accessible and perfectly aligned with what so many people love about the genre, but if Malone continues in this vein, the things he should chase are those moments where his heart is totally on the line".
Garvey opined that "most of the collaborations are solid" on the record, praising Dolly Parton's performance on "Have The Heart", while criticizing the song "Hide My Gun" and the opening track "Wrong Ones" for their lack of energy.
[24] Ammar Kalia of The Observer described F-1 Trillion as "surprisingly enjoyable", while deeming it too long, "overly polished and missing the instrumental virtuosity central to the genre".
