[4] The mixtape contains production from Metro Boomin, Nav, Pi'erre Bourne, and Southside among others, and features guest appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Offset, 21 Savage, Nav's fellow labelmate Belly, and Gucci Mane.

On July 21, 2017, the same day the mixtape was released, Nav sat down for an interview with Paul Thompson of Complex.

Perfect Timing debuted at number 13 on the US Billboard 200 earning 30,000 album-equivalent units with 6,000 in pure album sales in its first week.

[1] Writing for Pitchfork, Jay Balfour said that the project shows that "Nav is empty as he ever was, lyrically especially" and the "brooding, soft-synthed trap" instrumentals created by Metro "would be in familiar and more capable hands if the guests were alone with them, but they aren’t enough of a saving grace".

[2] Spectrum Culture's Daniel Bromfield opined that Nav "has proved himself nothing more than Pandora filler, providing nothing but rap in a pinch" and Metro "should have should have blown this one up a little more" to make it more upbeat.
