Critical Reception
Andy Kellman with Allmusic gave the soundtrack a four star rating, commenting "Most of the artists -- an impressive mix of distinct personalities, much like the film’s cast -- contribute strong material that benefits from the context; each selection sounds like it belongs on the soundtrack for this particular film". Nitsuh Abebe with New York Magazine called the release "solemn and portentous", saying "It’s being asked to perform an absurd, impossible task — somehow embracing as much as possible of the entire modern experience of black American women — so it stretches in a few directions".
