Reception

Cyclone Wehner from Music Feeds said "Last Year Was Weird (Vol. 3) is about Maidza blossoming as a young black woman as much as affirming her auteur status" and called the volume her most "adventurous and avant-garde volume yet".[1]

MTV said “Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 3 is nowhere near as aggressive or as explosive as its predecessors, and you notice it immediately.” Saying “Kim” is “Tkay Maidza at her most unhinged, her most unrelenting and, ultimately, her best.”[3]
