Rolling Stone writer Danny Schwartz described Igor as a "rich and messy mélange of R&B, funk and rap". The album is synth-heavy, with neo soul melodies and low-mixed vocals. [8] [9] [10] The album follows a narrative of a love triangle where Tyler is in love with a man who is already dating another person. [11] American comedian Jerrod Carmichael serves as the album's narrator as it progresses, speaking short lines to make sense of Tyler's and the title character Igor's state of mind. Carmichael first appears on the album's fourth track "Exactly What You Run from You End Up Chasing". [11] Despite winning Best Rap Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards, Tyler has affirmed that Igor should be considered a pop album, and criticized the Grammys' choice to place him in the Rap and Urban categories as being racially motivated and a "backhanded compliment". [12]

The character Igor is mentioned by name on the tracks "Igor's Theme" and "What's Good". Igor follows the Gothic "Igor" archetype as a villain's assistant and represents a darker, apathetic side of Tyler that is revealed. Igor arrives after Tyler pours out all of his heart for his love interest, though his love interest remains focused on his ex-girlfriend. The arrival of Igor serves as a reset for the strong romantic emotions Tyler was entangled in during the album's first half. [11] "Earfquake" is an R&B song which has been described by music critics as either Tyler falling in love or experiencing heartbreak. [13] [9] [14] [15] In "I Think", he starts to question his relationship with his newfound partner and reveals his unhealthy attraction to him: the latter of which is elaborated in "Puppet". [16] [17] Tyler declares his love for a former partner and regrets dating someone else in "New Magic Wand". [18] [19] He further details his relationship in "A Boy is a Gun", where he describes his intimate life. [16] "Gone, Gone / Thank You", "I Don't Love You Anymore", and "Are We Still Friends?" go over Tyler's breakup and its aftermath. [20] [14]

[21] It was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio on June 4, 2019, as the album's lead single in the United States. [22] On June 3, 2019, Tyler announced his forthcoming tour for the album, which was supported by Jaden Smith, Blood Orange, and GoldLink. [23]

A short clip of the album's seventh track, entitled "A Boy is a Gun*" was released on May 13, 2019. [24] The full music video for the song was released on September 16, 2019.

The album is a collection of eleven videos recorded from Tyler's first live performance of Igor, performed in May 2019. [27]

Igor was met with widespread critical acclaim. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 81, based on 18 reviews. [29] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.9 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus. [28]

Several critics praised Tyler, the Creator's inventive production and artistic growth on IGOR. Roisin O'Connor of The Independent called the album Tyler's "best work to date," emphasizing its unconventional structure and intricate production. She described the experience as being led through a maze, which she lent to the album's "twists and turns." [20] Similarly, Andy Kellman of AllMusic commended the album for its emotional depth, comparing it to a classic soul LP for its expression of "pain, vulnerability, and compulsion," [30] while Danny Schwartz of Rolling Stone appreciated the vulnerability Tyler displayed, explaining that he reveals himself as a "shape-shifting artist who is still growing." [10]

Other critics highlighted IGOR's evolution in Tyler's sound, noting its blend of pop, soul, and hip-hop influences. Danial Spielberger of HipHopDX commented on Tyler's more polished style, which, despite moving away from his rapper persona, creates a "hazy pop" album that invites risk-taking. [16] Nick Roseblade from Clash noticed this shift in tone as well, describing how Tyler's previous aggressive style has softened into "slower beats and irresistible soul hooks." He noted that while the change may be jarring initially, the album's progression reveals a "new Tyler" that becomes increasingly captivating. [9] Sam Moore of NME added that IGOR is an "accomplished and evergreen record" that deserves undivided attention. [13]

Some reviews, however, offered mixed reactions to Tyler's stylistic experimentation. Sputnikmusic reviewer Rowan5215 felt IGOR wasn't necessarily Tyler's best work, though he acknowledged that Tyler's risk-taking pays off in tracks like "I Think" and "A Boy Is a Gun." The minimalist approach, he argued, suits Tyler well but can feel repetitive in songs such as "Running Out of Time." [32] In a similarly measured review, Dean Van Nguyen of The Guardian appreciated the album's ingenuity but felt it lacked the memorable qualities of Tyler's past work, ultimately calling IGOR a "fine showcase of ingenuity" that doesn’t always linger in the listener's mind.
