Puberty 2 was released to widespread acclaim from music critics.[3] Critics praised the album's more restrained and nuanced emotional trajectory, as well as its complex themes, which include longing, love, depression, alienation, and racial identity.[6][13] NPR critic Laura Snapes commented on this subtlety, writing that Puberty 2 "is a strike against the happy/sad poles that govern our lives."[14] Katie Rife of The A.V. Club deemed it "a triumphant new step in her evolution".[5]
