Yellow explores hedonistic viewpoints and is a departure from the dark themes deployed on Brymo's previous studio album Oṣó.

[6] With the exception of "Abụ Ya", which Nsikak David and Lindsey Abudei co-produced, Yellow was produced and engineered by Brymo's frequent collaborator Mikky Me Joses.

[8] On the album's opening track "Espirit De Corps", Brymo examines the socio-politics of a decaying society; the song's production features a trap beat.

[13] "Rara Rira" is an alternative pop song with a folk percussion; it describes carefree people who enjoy life and live on the edge.

Pulse Nigeria's Motolani Alake awarded the album a rating of 9.7 out of 10, commending Brymo for using "symbolism and metaphor to breakdown his topics".

[13] Reviewing for BellaNaija, Notiki Bello called Yellow "robust and rigorous", and described it as a "well-written book of fiction that is sung without the tedious effort of thumbing through hundreds of pages".

[14] Iyke Bede of newspaper This Day commended Yellow for being "a testament of years of continued honing of craft and sheer consistency, and not just another album".

[7] Writing for The Lagos Review, Joy Dennis called the album a "masterpiece" and said it "details the musings of its creator, about love, psychology, the African society, and the black man".

[15] The Nigerian Tribune writer Kola Muhammed praised Brymo's bilingual approach and commended him for "swathing his message with wit and metaphysical conceits".

[20] All tracks are written by Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ and produced by Mikky Me Joses, except for "Abụ Ya".Credits adapted from the album's back cover.
