[8] Lyrically, it explores the challenges of transforming a playboy lifestyle to a romantic one, featuring vulnerable moments in which the artist seeks to demonstrate his commitment to a loved one, alongside introspective reflections on his own dissatisfaction stemming from his inability to express genuine love due to his Casanova persona.

[10] On "Animal" and "She Lovin It", Songz exuberantly portrays the thrill and excitement of passion-fueled one-night stands.

[4] The album also contains "painful" breakup songs, that reflect the tumultuous relationship with his former girlfriend, caused by his promiscuous lifestyle.

[9] Andy Kellman of AllMusic praised the singer's vocal performances: "as vocalist of such considerable caliber [...] [t]here's no disproving that Songz is still in his element" but criticized the production for being "too flat and usual at times".

"[10] John Kennedy of Vibe praised its lyrical content, stating that it shows "a softer side of the guy who invented sex", ending up his review by saying that "Trigga and Tremaine [are] pop culture's great dualities [that distinct] the two sides of Trey Songz".

[8] Maeve McDermott of USA Today gave the album a mixed review, arguing that “While there's plenty to enjoy in Tremaine, Songz' new album exposes one reason why listeners are drawn to his contemporaries' darker tales of romance, (...) [he's] trying to prove [he's] special, while betraying hints of [his] toxic masculinity along the way.

"[3] Tremaine debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 behind Drake's More Life and Ed Sheeran's ÷ with 67,000 album-equivalent units, which included 45,000 pure album sales in its first week.
