Critical reception


Trey Alston of Highsnobiety gave the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, saying, “Pieces of A Man is at its strongest when it goes full in on that mesmerizingly simple urbane aesthetic, with Jenkins riding the wave with a relaxed nod and making good on his promise to deliver the most authentic experience possible.”
