The reviews have been less than favorable.

Drake has just released his new album For All The Dogs, and as you can imagine, the album is a bit polarizing. Overall, every album from a big artist is going to be scrutinized. After all, people want the best from their favorite artists. When Kendrick Lamar took a five-year hiatus, many felt disappointed by Mr. Morale. However, a lot of those sentiments have slowly faded, and fans see that album as yet another classic in Lamar's discography. As for the Canadian megastar, however, the reception has been much harsher.

Throughout the last few days, people like Joe Budden have come out to criticize the project. Moreover, many reviewers have been taking to their respective platforms to give their opinion. So far, most of these reviews have been negative, or simply indifferent. It has been a trend with Drake's last few projects. However, as far as For All The Dogs is concerned, it is more pronounced than ever. When you look at the aggregate scores for this project, it seems like this is the worst critical reception of his career.
