Critic Reviews
Show All-
Popdust
PARTYMOBILE's effervescence is its greatest asset, and the crooner's newfound optimism pushes each track forward in a way that his brooding, self-loathing never could.
-
Pitchfork
The Toronto singer’s writing lacks the specificity that animates his best music this time around.
-
DJBooth
It started strong, dragged in the middle, fell apart towards the end, and then managed to stick the landing. I went in looking for a retread of PARTYNEXTDOOR and PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO, but instead, I got a tasting menu of every project he’s put out to date.

Uproxx
Its mileage may vary based on how well you relate, but ironically, he may have crafted the perfect project for our socially-distant times — whether mandatory or voluntary.
-
Baller Status
PARTYMOBILE is an album that grows on you as you play it over… The problem however is, you have to take the time to actually give it a chance.
-
HipHop DX
But as society gets deeper into this unprecedented quarantine, the masses will have more time on their own to sit and long for intimate relationships and PARTY’s isolation anthems are a source of solace.
-
The Post
PARTY definitely got the right point across with PARTYMOBILE, and simultaneously set a new standard for himself and R&B.

Ratings Game Music
I feel like PARTYNEXTDOOR did nothing to prove that he is more than just a very good ghostwriter on the album. With that being said, if Drake sandwiched the songs that sounded like the ones I heard on PARTYMOBILE in between tough-ass songs on his next album, that s**t might be his best work to-date!

It is a welcome return for the Canadian and he hasn’t disappointed.
-
Thirstkey
"PARTYMOBILE" is a slow burn and not in a good, thought-provoking way. He definitely reminded me what he's good at but it's clear he hasn't quite figured out where his talents apply and where some variety is needed.

KTSW 89.9
It’s a solid project but it makes me wonder what else could have been done.
-
Euphoria
Somehow Partynextdoor has kept the same formula over four albums now, and we are all still tuned in. He never over-delivers. He stays in his pocket and gives his fan base what they expect. Elevation is neither the goal nor the result on the just-released Partymobile, but the album will, for many of us, be listened to secretly more than albums we say we like more.
-
Soundazed
Though PARTYMOBILE is certainly not a “party” album per se, its chilled out vibe and lowkey production styles make for pleasurable listening nonetheless.
-
InspirEnrich
Party really sounds like he took the time out to come back much more polished with something which doesn’t sound as dark as PND3 or as warped out in autotune as PND2(still my favorite) but a balance of both worlds.
-
Music Matters Media
It seems as though the fact of releasing this album was a bigger priority than making something strong and memorable. Most verses are repetitive, which doesn’t give the album much lyrical volume.
-
Hit Up Ange
the seamless blend of R&B, dancehall, and rap makes PARTY’s return that much more satisfactory. He’s as vulnerable as ever, a quality his fans have responded to ever since his 2014 hit Recognize. Having written most of the tracks on his own, with a little help from OVO powerhouse Noah “40” Shebib, PARTYMOBILE once again demonstrates PARTYNEXTDOOR’s well-rounded artistry all the way from start to finish.
-
No Gossip
Partymobile is a good return project for him and definitely did better than his Toronto lablel mate.
-
Culled Culture
Anyway, if you don’t listen too closely to the lyrics, Partymobile is a perfectly lovely album to lounge around the house to (and for most, “lounge” means the incorporation of ganja).
-
Stereovision
PARTYNEXTDOOR fans wanted something deemed better than all of his previous projects. Ultimately, Party stayed well within his comfort-zone and relied on his effortless talent to deliver an album he knew would not flop.
-
Euphoria
Partymobile combines essential moments (such as a born-for-radio single with Rihanna in “Believe It”) with a few unnecessary moments. Regardless, we will no doubt be hitting play on this one a few times.

What You Expect?
I have never seen an artist give less effort lyrically on multiple tracks. Maybe, next time around he will really come with different sounds and gets some help with the writing. There are some flashes towards the end, but this album fell way short of the mark.
