Pitchfork7.2/10[7]

The album was critically acclaimed and received positive reviews. Pitchfork praised the album, giving it a 7.2 out of 10, claiming "Inglewood singer-songwriter and producer R&B isn’t just R&B. There’s a neo-soul silkiness to many of his songs, with an atmospheric, jazzy vibe in the production—November is an album for lighting incense, not candles. In this sense, he’s TDE’s answer to a moment that has seen acts like Daniel Caesar subtly returning to the genre’s more tender roots with great success."[7]

gollark: If LyricLy says "hmm, it is 3AM here" that probably means something like more like "wow, my sleep schedule is currently quite far shifted from the societal expectations thereof" than "the sun is 62 degrees below the horizon".
gollark: What? You don't actually need to know where the sun is. You need to know some stuff derived from that *and* a bunch of other things; you can just use the derived data.
gollark: Even individual people aren't on the same personal schedule relative to solar ones though.
gollark: Actually, GTech™ sun removal lasers.
gollark: Because "work" cycles are approximately synced to that. But that isn't really guaranteed and there's crosscultural variation.
