Robin Murray of Clash remarked that the album abandons Yachty's previous "straight-up rap for half-sung, half-spoken interludes", finding that "the results – though patchy – contain some of his best work yet". His longtime love of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and multiple psychedelic journeys influenced this ambitious and intimate release. The opening warble of “running out of time” is like Yachty’s imitation of Bruno Mars imitating James Brown, and the way he can’t quite restrain his screechiness enough to flawlessly copy it is what makes it original. Actually, for all the commotion about the genre jump on this project, the real draw is the ways in which Yachty uses Auto-Tune and other vocal effects as tools to unlock not just sounds but emotion.

Lil Yachty's latest album 'Let's Start Here' has been hailed by some as a prog rock opus, bleeding his synthetic hip-hop / electronic influences into the dreamy and beat-switchy ambition of the 80s' rock musician. an unexpected pivot, with a few words every rap fan will find familiar: “I really wanted to be taken seriously as an artist, not just some SoundCloud rapper or some mumble rapper. I’ll run it through the ultrasonic to mitigate it, but I can’t imagine this copy is the only one with this particular defect.

Building off the vocal wrinkle introduced on last year’s viral moment “ Poland,” where he sounds like he’s cooing through a ceiling fan, the highlights on Let’s Start Here. reaches for a superhuman register, but other guest appearances, like Fousheé’s clipped lilts on “pRETTy” and Daniel Caesar’s faded howls on the outro, are forgettable. For many months of 2021-22, Grammy-nominated rapper/singer/producer Lil Yachty poured himself into a full band experience in the studio day and night with stints ranging from El Paso to Brooklyn.

Yachty, meanwhile, is working within a template that is already well-defined and commercially successful. We’re so eager for the future of the genre to arrive that current sounds are viewed as restricting and lesser.

Lil Yachty officially announced the album on Instagram on January 17, 2023, posting the cover art, title, and release date. Tom Johnson from Beats Per Minute enjoyed the album, saying, "While opinions will certainly be divided on Let's Start Here, it's undeniable that a rapper hasn't committed so impressively and effortlessly to a rock genre since Kid Cudi's Nirvana-inspired Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven. His longtime love of Pink Floyd's `Dark Side of the Moon' and multiple psychedelic journeys influenced this ambitious and intimate album.The Wire 's Mosi Reeves opined that Let's Start Here "has a middlebrow sensibility" despite Yachty's "pretensions", viewing the album as being most effective "when he unleashes his oddball trill, an evocative sound that bland sentiments like 'So surreal, the vibes I feel' can't quite diminish. The album hints at subjects such as mental health, conspiracies and failed romance, and its bold addition of Yachty's signature autotune furthers the idea that this is a boldly brash fusion project, exploring a range of emotions not usually explored by contemporary rappers.
