Background and promotion


In an interview with Zane Lowe of Apple Music, Teezo Touchdown shared his thoughts about the album and described its genres: This is, as far as the sonics of what you're going to hear, I haven't said this publicly yet, but it's the sound that I'm crafting that's called rock & boom. It's R&B with the intensity of rock. It has R&B top lines. The boom, of course, for boom bap, it's the boom bap penmanship.
Before the release of the album, Teezo Touchdown frequently promoted it and gave hints about it through Instagram posts and stories, and Canadian rapper and singer Drake also co-signed the album ahead of its release as he saw it as "some of the best music ever".




Critical reception



How Do You Sleep at Night? received mixed reviews from critics. It received a score of 56 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, indicating "mixed or average" reception. Writing for NME, Kyann-Sian Williams felt that "this love for dramatic highs and muted lows on this album makes the record a rollercoaster of emotions and sounds, and a polished and entertaining debut".
Critics widely noted the genre-bending nature of the album, but had divided opinions on its execution: in a positive review, James Mellen of Clash described How Do You Sleep at Night? as "a brilliantly dizzying melting pot of genre and sonic identity", whereas Pitchfork's Alphonse Pierre criticized the album as "a genre mash-up that isn't as offbeat as it wants to be". Several critics gave negative evaluation of Teezo's songwriting, which was described as "lack[ing] specificity" by Slant's Paul Attard and as "juvenile at best" by HipHopDX's Louis Pavlakos. However, Teezo's singing performances were praised even in some otherwise critical reviews: for instance, Jeff Ihaza of Rolling Stone described Teezo as a "genuinely gifted singer" with "an effective R&B register", and Pitchfork's review found that Teezo's voice "slides nicely into the R&B lane".
The guest appearances by Fousheé and Janelle Monáe were positively received: both singers were described as delivering strong vocal performances that juxtaposed interestingly with Teezo's.
