The album features guest appearances from Kid Cudi, Post Malone, Kanye West, Anderson .Paak, Quavo, Nicki Minaj, Kehlani, Big Sean, Roddy Ricch, Jhené Aiko, Future, Young Thug, FKA Twigs, and Skrillex, among others.

In an interview with Spin in July 2019, Ty Dolla Sign first talked about the album, saying "I wasn't focused on, like, 'Oh, let's go make a fuckin' generic-ass hit, you know, 97 BPMs-plus, get the club going" and simultaneously stressed the importance of distinguishing himself from other artists, "I just wanted to give people some good music to listen to—something that sounds different from everybody else's shit".

An unwieldy listen that still carries huge expectation, Ty Dolla $ign's latest album holds nothing back – that's its beauty, but also its deepest flaw".

[21] Danny Schwartz of Rolling Stone wrote, "Featuring Ty$ reaffirms his gifts as a savvy songwriter who knows precisely how and when to introduce tension, dimension, and even warmth to his casual womanizing".

[1] Ben Devlin of MusicOMH said, "His newest release is an hour-long suite that aims to pack in as many hooks, guests, melodies and trap beats as possible, and succeeds with flying colours".

[22] Featuring Ty Dolla Sign debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 44,000 album-equivalent units (including 4,000 copies as pure album sales) in its first week.
