Critical reception
Шаблон:Music ratings DS4Ever was met with mixed reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 51, based on five reviews.[11]
Michael Di Gennaro from Exclaim! enjoyed the album, saying, "DS4Ever is certainly a good mainstream rap record, and fans of Gunna and the community of high-profile Atlanta artists he's aligned with will find plenty to enjoy across the album's 19 tracks".[12] Armon Sadler of HipHopDX said, "DS4Ever is proof he presumably won't allow stardom to make him complacent, balancing improvements in song topics and technical skill, even if the drip talk has gone stale".[13] In a lukewarm review, Rolling StoneШаблон:'s Mosi Reeves wrote, "Gunna has a flashy and intoxicating vocal style, and that alone [makes] DS4 a worthy escapade. But he can't transcend the clichés that define his era".[14]
Reviewing the album for AllMusic, David Crone stated, "After tunnelling into a very specific avenue for Wunna, DS4 loses focus, instead spreading the rapper thin across a much wider smattering of styles. The resulting project feels noncommittal: DS4 is caught between the woozy, floating sounds of Wunna and an older, heavier-hitting sound, yet nails neither".[15] Pitchfork critic Alphonse Pierre said, "The Atlanta rapper's latest album is monotonous, short on the quirks and out-of-body experiences of his better projects".[16]
Commercial performance
DS4Ever debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with 150,000 album-equivalent units comprising 193.5 million on-demand streams and 4,000 pure sales, making it Gunna's second number-one album. The album notably blocked the Weeknd's album Dawn FM from the top spot by approximately 2,300 units.[17]
