    Ultimately It's Only Me sticks to the formula that's taken Lil Baby to the top, but somehow fails to communicate the personality and creative fire that was hard to miss on earlier albums.

    If the trimmings were removed from ‘It’s Only Me’, it might rival his previous releases – instead it’s a few notches shy of greatness

    The nuts and bolts of the singsongy rhythms matter. Lil Baby is at his best when he’s using those tricks to switch between moods, but there’s just one on It’s Only Me, and it’s indifference: not in the too-cool-to-care kind of way, but in the way when words have no weight behind them.

    The vast majority of tracks come in under three minutes, yet it’d be wrong to give credit to Baby for not overstaying his welcome on these songs when the record, aside from a predictable variation of keys or strings that introduce each new track, practically blurs into one indistinguishable song.

    The final product is an exercise in meh as he tries blending who he is with who he used to be, along with his more significant commercial responsibilities.

    Was looking forward to this so much since My Turn in 2020 was phenomenal. This just felt like new iterations of the same songs on that album.Was looking forward to this so much since My Turn in 2020 was phenomenal. This just felt like new iterations of the same songs on that album. Nothing creative, nothing risk-taking, nothing outside of his comfort zone.
