AllMusic[2]
The Guardian[3]

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."[2] Ammar Kalia from The Guardian remaked 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."[3]


Chart performance


Self Explanatory debuted at number 184 on the US Billboard 200 in the week ending July 30, 2022.[4] This marked Ne-Yo's lowest-charting debut since his 2019 Christmas album Another Kind of Christmas failed to chart.[4] On Billboard's component charts, the album also entered the Current Album Sales at number 59.[5]
