Clash 5/10 [15]

The Party Never Ends received mixed to negative reviews from critics, most of whom viewed the release as an attempt to capitalize off of Juice Wrld's legacy. Robin Murray of Clash wrote that the album lacked a cohesive identity and that the album's material remained "unfinished for a reason." [15] Fred Thomas of AllMusic criticized the album for feeling like "the underheated remaining scraps" of his unreleased material. While tracks such as "AGATS2 (Insecure)" and the Kid Laroi's tribute song "Goodbye" are noted as exceptions, he described collaborations such as Eminem's "Lace It" as "awkward" with Juice's presence minimized. He wrote that songs such as "Best Friend" with Fall Out Boy felt like unfinished placeholders, with the album overall lacking songs that approach the quality of Juice Wrld's best work. [14]

The Party Never Ends debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200, with 86,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, including 123.43 million on-demand streams of the songs, and 2,000 in album sales. [16] [17]
