Songs

Revolt commented that "the opening track, "Fire In My Heart <3" is a previously leaked offering that quickly reminds listeners why the Canton, Ohio talent holds his position as one of the best of his generation, delivering harmonies about women, violence, vices, and more over production from Loesoe and Supah Mario".^[7]

Critical reception

Michael Saponara of HipHopDX reacted very positively to the mixtape, writing: "Trippie stars front-and-center standing alone to carry the effort with the only guest[s] coming on the ninth and final bonus track "Hate" … The 22-year-old gets experimental with catchy hooks and syrupy rhymes over starry production where he seems to be most comfortable in his own world."^[5] Likewise, Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop commented that "[t]he only song with features is the bonus track, and throughout the first eight songs, Trippie does a great job of carrying the load." Cole also praised the catchiness of Redd’s hooks and praised the mixtape’s production.^[8]
