NME awarded ‘NO THANK YOU’ 4 stars, writing: “‘NO THANK YOU’s quiet, understated launch supplies parallels to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Untitled Unmastered’ launch from 2016, a collection of leftovers from his ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ periods. That too had a sure looseness and freedom to the tracks, and, very similar to Lamar, a clear-headed Simz has one thing to say urgently. The case for Simz to be recognised as a real fashionable nice has solely been strengthened with this launch.”
