CRITIC REVIEWS
100
From top to bottom, Good News vibrates with the infectious confidence and defiance of Meg’s straight-to-camera flow.
100
With easy flow, hard barbs and a magnetic persona, the rapper casts herself as the successor to hip-hop’s old-school heroes.
90
Raw and ruthless, ‘Good News’ is the sound of Megan Thee Stallion pushing against the boundaries imposed on her until they break.
85
The Good News about this album is that Megan exceeded expectations by delivering a memorable debut project ... The authenticity of her sound and the sincerity of her delivery takes this project up a level.
83
We are more than familiar with Megan’s brilliance, but her debut album expands on it and reminds us that the charismatic artist can outrap your favorite in the game any day of the week.
80
On her debut album, ... we ought to know what to expect: single entendres, graphic imagery and bulletproof self-confidence.
80
Good News is ... chock-full of catchy hooks, stellar verses and feisty attitude.
80
Even with some slight shortcomings, Megan's reclamation of tragedy is refreshing. In a year where any good news has been hard to find, the bar-busting Texan, full of raw charisma and energy, is every bit of good news.
80
Arriving in the wake of several releases and countless show-stealing features, Good News is a shining culmination of all the work Megan’s put in, yet it avoids being weighed down by the sense of too many cooks in the kitchen.
80
The Houston superstar’s debut LP is the explosive victory-lap we were expecting.
80
While Megan Thee Stallion presented herself as a force to be reckoned with from her earliest material, Good News finds her triple-X-rated sex rhymes, imposing charm, and ability to make it all appear effortless reaching new levels.
80
On her debut, the 25-year-old combines West Coast samples with the Southern sounds of her youth. The message: she's staying sunny, despite her setbacks.
78
Amid a pandemic, and while recovering from a gunshot wound, the superstar rapper made an album that purposefully celebrates life. Her beats are playful, and her rapping is as sharp as ever.
71
The Houston-based rap sensation’s debut album covers all the bases, but does it a bit too well.
70
Good News isn’t meant to be a simple introduction. It’s Megan Thee Stallion at her most agile and hi-def. It’s our invitation to the coronation of this generation’s hip-hop royalty.
70
A high-octane, heavy-hitting rejoinder that rearticulates the headlines of a year fraught by global and personal trauma for the Houston rapper.
60
Megan Thee Stallion sells herself short artistically on her still mostly decent debut album.
Megan Thee Stallion may be the biggest breakout star of the entire year, moving from a talented up-and-comer to one of the biggest names in the entire music industry. Hot Girl Summer last year was her first big move into the mainstream, but that pales in comparison to her two number one singles in 2020, one of which is one of the biggest singles of the entire year. WAP is probably the biggest crossover moment in which Stallion was no longer a name to watch but instead a name we all knew, but ... read more

Megan Thee S(mollet)tallion is basically a female version of DaBaby, except a bit more creative I guess.
‘Must hear’ my left nut, I haven’t even seen how overhyped this project is. It certainly isn’t terrible, but mediocre asf. When I heard ‘Tina Show’ and ‘Fever’ back in the day, I though she’s bout to be the next Nicki Minaj, well reality is often disappointing.
Though everyone is entitled to have their own opinions.
