Critic Reviews

American Songwriter

UTOPIA sees Scott stay true to his style, his preferences, and his principles, going against the grain of the tendencies in the viral-hungry world that is 2023 rap.

Clash

A record that stretches the boundaries, ‘UTOPIA’ feels like his finest hour.

The Texan auteur might have had a bumpy start to the 2020s, but his fourth album sees him doing what he does best.

AllMusic
The multi-platinum guest features might set the album up for global conquest, but the most exciting moments come when it sounds like Scott is discovering a new way to push his craft forward.

Slant Magazine
The album operates less as a cohesive body of work and more as a series of show-stopping set pieces.

The Needle Drop

Travis offers some dark and diverse ear candy on Utopia.

While it’s difficult to get past the wording of Travis Scott’s “Astroworld” follow up, the instrumental completeness and overall energy is difficult to forget.

Paste
The blockbuster production doesn’t mask the fact that Scott doesn’t have a lot to say on this album.

NME

The Houston rapper's first album since 2018 teases a brave new sonic world, but has little to say about what might happen if we get there.

57
Pitchfork
In an attempt to give the world a true blockbuster rap album, the Houston rapper delivers a shiny, empty spectacle loaded with pop superstars who rarely make an impact.

'Utopia' is more boring than Travis Scott.

The Guardian

Scott hasn’t managed to rid himself of his tendency to imitate or outright crib from other artists; the best moments of Utopia find him ceding space entirely to other musicians, a troubling state of affairs for any pop A-lister.

yeah i came a few times
travis is super hit or miss but when he does his artsy shit it hits. a lot of ppl say he’s copying yeezus here and.. yeah sorta. yeezus is my favorite album ever so i don’t rly care. he has some of his best rapping on songs like my eyes, some of his best singing on telekinesis, and some of his coolest production ever. just like kanye, travis makes this album an event and has many features that absolutely kill it. something about an artist working with travis, ... read more

Travis Scott, arguably the largest trap artist of our day, has finally come out with his long awaited album Utopia. With over five years of hype over his shoulders, it’s quite obvious that the chance of disappointing people. People get skewed ideas of what they want the album to be, expecting the high calibers reached with Rodeo, the catchiness of Astroworld, and the… whatever people want from Birds In The Trap. Nevertheless, Travis had quite the tall order to fulfill, and his ... read more

Her loss for high school freshman who break their Xbox controller over a rocket league game

“Utopia” is Travis’ long awaited fourth studio album, and boy would I hate to be a die hard Travis fan in the last 3 or so years, because whether it be the tragedy of Astroworld to the unknowns and delays of Utopia, and even having Travis dropping the skip before the album must’ve drove the Scott fans to insanity.

When entering the “Utopia”, Travis questions the ... read more

One of Travis Scotts better projects. However his voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Favorite track: Modern Jam *Touchdown carried*
