[6] The album peaked within the top ten in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Norway, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, and the US Billboard 200.

McRae called the experience of writing the album "one of the most stressful, exciting, nerve racking, and fun things [she has] ever gone through", saying that she has lived the past year "a little less with [her] head and a little more with [her] intuition" and hoped that listeners can "feel that through the music".

[7] A press release expressed that it explores "the all-too-relatable feelings of falling in love and embracing the raw emotions that you experience as a result of leading with your intuition and heart".

[22] Michael Cragg of The Observer wrote that the album "feels like the perfect vehicle for mainstream ubiquity" as "songs such as 'Exes' and the rib-rattling title track continue down 'Greedy''s pop-R&B route, a melodic pocket that suits McRae's rapid-fire delivery".

[17] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian wrote that the "lyrics stick with the [...] bad boyfriends, bedroom-door-slamming angst and friendship group drama" and highlighted "Greedy", "Stay Done" and "Hurt My Feelings", but commented that they are "surrounded by a surfeit of songs that, while well made, feature melodies that always head where you'd expect – or try too hard".

[21] Arwa Haider of the Financial Times felt that "at points, it does seem like she's trying on different parts for size (temptress; wounded lover; frenemy), but there's no doubting McRae's versatility, and she is always an engaging performer".

[19] Reviewing the album for Pitchfork, Jaeden Pinder described it as "full of homogeneous trap-pop ballads devoted to one-dimensional introspection" and remarked that it "feels anonymous: stuck romanticizing the negative in an attempt to prove her seriousness as a singer.
