Andy Gill of The Independent was more critical, panning the album as 'utterly wearying and unpersuasive' while declaring that 'rarely has one man moaned quite so much about so little.' Neil McCormick wrote in The Daily Telegraph that in spite of some evocative production and Drake's impressive rapping skills, his continued 'navel gazing' demonstrated a lack of emotional maturity and insight. Club, Evan Rytlewski argued that he had 'done this before and done it better', describing the album as 'too long and stubbornly low energy'.

Reviewing Views in The New York Times, Jon Caramanica said Drake's 'emotional excavations aren't as striking as they were a few years ago, when they had the sting of the new to them.' In The A.V. Many reviewers found it overlong and lacking in a cohesive theme, while claiming Drake was not challenging himself artistically according to MTV's Meghan Garvey, the unenthusiastic response to the record may have been attributed to Drake's 'unwillingness (or inability) to significantly evolve beyond his time-tested signature sound, clinging to the comfort of the same frosty 40 beats, zingy aphorisms, and perennial trust issues'. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 69, based on 31 reviews.
