Perspective
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, Juice Wrld spoke on the background of the album, stating:
[I'm] just trying to make music to help people through their situations and tell them about some of my own. It's all genuine, so I think that's what adds to it. Back in high school, even before that, I was good at freestyling. Then I started rapping, and I recorded a few records that didn't have any substance. I thought 'why not put my heart into what I'm making?[8]
The album was originally uploaded to SoundCloud under the title Fuck You Bella; this would later be changed to Goodbye & Good Riddance, with all references to the titular Bella being removed from the tracklist. For example, a skit titled "Bella's Betrayal" was changed to simply "Betrayal".[9][10]
On July 10, 2018, the album was reissued to include the track “Wasted” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, which was also released as a single on the same day. This edition of the album would later be released on vinyl.
On December 10, 2018, a further reissue of the album would appear on the streaming services Spotify and Tidal. This exclusive edition of the album features a re-organized tracklist and includes the single “Armed and Dangerous”.
On May 28, 2021, the album was re-released to commemorate its third anniversary. This reissue included two new tracks, one titled "734" and the other being a remix of "Lucid Dreams" featuring Lil Uzi Vert. “Armed and Dangerous” was excluded from this edition of the album.
The album was once again reissued in 2023 to commemorate its fifth anniversary. This edition contains two new tracks, Glo'd Up and No Good.

Critical reception
Jay Balfour of Pitchfork described Goodbye & Good Riddance as "an adolescent breakup record that is equal parts endearing and grating", praising the album's sound: "his heart-on-his-sleeve coping sounds both ingratiating and grating. In that way at least, he's bottled up sad sap adolescence remarkably well".[2] Bryan Hahn of HipHopDX criticized the lyricism for being "without any focus on creative stanzas or convincing in-depth first-person experiences". He later said Higgins has the potential to grow as an artist, remarking "Juice's best potential songwriting is yet to come" and "Juice feels willing to keep things interesting for the sake of art and is backed by a moderate understanding (and interest) in varied melodies and cadences".[15]
In the 2022 listing, Rolling Stone named Goodbye & Good Riddance the 199th greatest hip-hop album of all time.[1]
