The Guardian ★★★★★
"[Good News] contents also highlight something basic that’s occasionally been drowned out by the hubbub of controversy and social media chatter: she’s phenomenal at what she does.”

Gigwise ★★★★★
"It's a breathtaking moment that presents Megan Thee Stallion as 2020 rapper supreme. Yes every song is killer. Yes her flow is unflinching. But at the heart of it she is unrivalled when it comes to telling it how it is: for herself and for her community.”

Rolling Stone ★★★★
"The Houston superstar’s debut LP is the explosive victory-lap we were expecting"

NME ★★★★
“This debut finds Megan Thee Stallion determined to retain her freewheeling positivity in a difficult year. And isn’t that the sound of 2020?”
"sex positivity and club-ready anthems”

The Evening Standard ★★★★
"Hers is a clean sound: crisp beats that echo the earliest hip hop, with a clear, fast vocal delivery that’s a long way from the Auto-Tuned, sing-song style of so many rappers today”

The Clash 9/10
"The latest headlines are in: ‘Good News’ is a triumph, and a late contender for Album Of The Year."

Pitchfork
"Megan’s mythos as daughter of a Texas MC—conditioned for the game and rising to prominence as a fierce freestyler—is now rap lore. She’s in her prime on Good News.”

Vulture
"It has a confident sense of place and history that’s becoming of a Texas rapper’s official debut.”

Variety
"Good News” finds Megan moving confidently to the next level.”

Stereogum
"Good News isn’t an arrival, but it is a coronation.”
