Reception

Stephen Daw of Billboard wrote, "Ranging from similar beat-heavy dance tracks to slowed down, moody R&B ballads, T1 differentiates itself from the countless other albums that have been produced by queens from the show" (referring to the reality show RuPaul's Drag Race on which Tatianna had appeared as a contestant). [4] Daniel Megarry of Gay Times said the album "sees her serve club-ready beats, fierce lyrics, and of course the odd spoken word segment". [5]
