      Singles


      The first single was "Mommydog", featuring CJ Smith, released in 2018. The second single "Hunnid", featuring Joyce Wrice, was released in April 2020. A video for the album's third single "Way More Fun" featuring Lil Yachty was released on YouTube on August 6, 2020. Roth said in an interview that Yachty "was the only person" he thought worked for the "Way More Fun" record.


      Critical reception



      The album received predominantly negative reviews from music critics. Bernadette Giacomazzo of HipHopDX said that Roth "seems entirely out of his league" in attempting to tackle serious subjects, and "while he hits the mark on more than a few occasions, he falls disastrously short on more than a few others". However, "Way More Fun" and "Hibiscus" were singled out for praise, and Giacomazzo concluded that "Flowers on the Weekend, overall, is an interesting listen, if nothing else." Dani Blum of Pitchfork was more critical, stating that it was hard to take Roth's newfound political commitment seriously, and that the album's "most firm commitment is to bludgeoning language and logic". Blum stated that "the production alternates between grating open-mic-night theatrics – clanging cymbals, cloying bursts of trumpet, audible whoops – and plodding drums" and that the songs were "frictionless and forgettable".
