Background

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, Juice WRLD spoke on the background of the album, stating:

[I'm] just trying to make music to help people through their situations and tell them about some of my own. It's all genuine, so I think that's what adds to it. Back in high school, even before that, I was good at freestyling. Then I started rapping, and I recorded a few records that didn't have any substance. I thought 'why not put my heart into what I'm making?[6]

Goodbye & Good Riddance received generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Album of the Year, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 62 based on four reviews.[15]

Writing for The Young Folks, Ryan Feyre stated, "aside from a few unnecessary skits, Higgins solidifies himself as a more layered version of a drugged, lovesick artist, carrying a boatload of potential".[14] Jay Balfour of Pitchfork described Goodbye & Good Riddance as "an adolescent breakup record that is equal parts endearing and grating", praising the album's sound: "his heart-on-his-sleeve coping sounds both ingratiating and grating. In that way at least, he's bottled up sad sap adolescence remarkably well".[12] Bryan Hahn of HipHopDX criticized the lyricism for being "without any focus on creative stanzas or convincing in-depth first-person experiences". He later said Higgins has potential to grow as an artist, remarking "Juice's best potential songwriting is yet to come" and "Juice feels willing to keep things interesting for the sake of art and is backed by a moderate understanding (and interest) in varied melodies and cadences".[11]
