At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 5 reviews.^[10] Vivian Medithi of Pitchfork rated the album 7.2/10 and wrote in a review, "The 25-year-old rapper has grown as a lyricist, but what’s most exciting about GLORIOUS is its idiosyncrasy. Expanding beyond playlistable trap prerequisites and the wistful soul chops that signal A Serious Rap Album, GloRilla channels the music of her youth, cycling through crunk and gospel with aplomb."^[15]
