AllMusic
Beneath the debauchery and boasting, G-Eazy sounds grateful to see his hard work pay off. Just don't stop his party.

Billboard

It’s hyperbolic, but When It’s Dark Out marks a vast leap forward: His cadences are more agile, his boasts more boastful, his guest list tighter.

Pitchfork

When It's Dark Out is a marked sonic improvement from his debut ... G-Eazy is at his best when he steps out of the shadows and raps assuredly, and there are signs of that on When It's Dark Out.

The Observer

A second album that could’ve hit a home run if it hadn’t worked so hard to cover all the bases.

Northern Transmissions
G-Eazyโ€™s strength lies in his story-telling, but the record still sounds like listening to the guy who pissed everyone off at the party talk about his problems. Iโ€™m listening, but in some ways, Iโ€™d rather not.

The Needle Drop
G-Eazy returns with an incredibly bland followup to his commercial debut.

G-Eazy on his way to ruin the most immaculate and well-crafted beats with the corniest verses ever known to mankind

The pt. 2 basically to "These Things Happen", "When It's Dark Out" is a tiny bit better.

The sound of "When It's Dark Out" is less empty than it was on "These Things Happen" with some tracks trying to have a punch in them like "Random", "You Got Me", "Sad Boy" and "Calm Down". G-Eazy wont win you over here but he does occasionally have some good writing, the best example is on "Everything Will Be ... read more

G-Eazy is in a weird spot for me. He has some good songs, but also some genuinely horrible songs.
The thing that throws me off the most are his lyrics, they be so out of pocket at times.

Overall not a horrible project, but also nothing amazing either.

How he has so many A-List features on this slob is beyond me.

Best: Nothing to Me, Me Myself & I, Drifting

Worst: Think About You, Order More, You Got Me
