Critical reception
Nightride received generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 75, based on 5 reviews. Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times commented that the album "mixes themes of both cruising and loving, and does so through tracks produced by notables including the-Dream, Boi 1da and Dev Hynes".
Rebecca Haithcoat of the Pitchfork stated "Nightride sounds fascinating and, while polished, less sleek and cold than the title suggests. It has more of an ominous, broken-down carnival vibe" and that "Tinashe has long preferred shadows and slinkiness to bright poppiness, and [Nightride] is strictly after-hours music. [...] the album is infinitely interesting, possibly more so than the artist singing it. But then again, you shouldn’t count out anyone releasing an album like Nightride."
Kitty from The Observer (UK) gave a more mixed but still positive review; describing the tracks from Nightride as a series of 'hazy, gauzy tracks'.
