In a press statement, Rico Nasty said about the album: “This album is about being confident and saying fuck everybody else. It’s about getting doors slammed in your face and people telling you to try it their way again and again, and you stay true to yourself and it works. That’s what this project is. It’s an ode to yourself.”

In a three-star review of Rico Nasty’s 2022 mixtape ‘Las Ruinas’, Dhruva Balram wrote for NME: “Despite its strong start, the sagging back end of ‘Las Ruinas’ unfortunately means that this mixtape isn’t likely to stick in the memory for long – here’s hoping Rico comes back stronger next time.”
