Critical reception
Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave Self Explanatory three and a half stars out of five and called it Ne-Yo's "most biographical album yet."[3] Ammar Kalia from The Guardian remarked that "strong vocals and head-nodding moments aside, the R&B singer-songwriter's latest record falls short of his career highs." He found that "the pleasant nostalgia of [the] highlights isn't enough to carry the record as a whole: tracks such as "Proud of You," "Call Me Up" and "No Loot" play as mid-tempo filler."[4]
