Billboard wrote, "Throughout
Mamaru, the '
Supermodel' star delivers what fans have come to expect from her — fun, danceable singles that are made for you to strut to. Some songs like 'Blame It on the Edit', 'Queendom' and 'Pretty Pretty Gang Gang' see Ru leaning into a slightly edgier, updated
hip-hop sound, but others like 'Catwalk' see the star capitalizing on the pop that made her a superstar." Ian Fredrickson of
The Daily Californian gave the album a 3.5 out of 5, and wrote that "
Mamaru shows audiences young and old that RuPaul is still in her prime nearly half a century into her career. Incredibly fun to listen to — with some tracks definitively worth putting on your hype playlist — the album is impressive even with its occasional blunders." Reanna Cruz of
NPR wrote that the album is the "final death knell of
bubblegum hyperpop. Throughout the thirty-minute record, Ru somehow manages to commodify and repackage the sounds of almost every single musician who has made an impact on
queer internet communities over the past several years, including but not limited to
Charli XCX,
Shygirl,
Kim Petras,
Namasenda and the late
Sophie, who is rolling in her grave at the familiar fruit production on a song named 'Pretty Pretty Gang Gang'." The album won the 2022
WOWIE Stream Queen Award for Best Album, presented at
RuPaul's DragCon LA. ==Track listing==
