"'Entergalactic' is a product of [Cudi's] ambitions to conquer film and television, a visual album released in conjunction with an animated Netflix film of the same name. A low-key romantic comedy, the movie casts Cudi as an aspiring cartoonist opposite best friend Timothée Chalamet and love interest Jessica Williams, and the album shares the feature's low stakes and blissful, lovelorn vibe. It's ironic that a project born of Cudi's desire to leave recording behind contains some of his most purely enjoyable music in a decade ... One of the most pleasant surprises about Entergalactic, beyond its unshowy but absolutely sumptuous production, is that Cudi is finally writing outside himself. By singing from the perspective of his rom-com alter ego, he frees himself to let a little light into his dreary world".

"Who knows if this is truly the moon man's final landing but either way you slice it - it's a fun "final" flight".

"Kid Cudi sounds pretty happy on 'Entergalactic': While nothing here comes close to the sonic risks Cudi felt free to take earlier in his career, he makes up for that shortcoming by creating one of his easiest listens to date. For an artist who's often made his mental-health struggles central to his art, it's gratifying to hear him sound healed and happy. He may not be as challenging, but he's easier to love".
