Reception

Writing for Pitchfork, David Drake described the album as "well-crafted and considered" but felt that "there’s a better album somewhere inside of [G-Eazy]."[8] Tim Hoffman of Riff Magazine said that "While These Things Happen Too delivers plenty of songs that perpetuate the 'player' criticisms lobbed at G-Eazy [...] there’s plenty of substance to be found as well."[9]
