Not Tight was met with critical acclaim. At
Metacritic, the album received an aggregate score of 82 based on 5 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Writing for
Pitchfork, writer Kieran Press-Reynolds praised Domi and JD Beck's technical virtuosity, calling the album "a smooth but frenetic set aimed at bringing jazz fusion to a new hyper-brained generation." In a positive review for
PopMatters, contributor Brandon Miller complimented the duo's "jaw-dropping" musicianship and chemistry, noting the album's "incredible time feel, unconventional beats, not to mention
neo-soul and
gospel-stretching harmonies." Other critics praised the album's "youthful charm", "stacked lineup" of featured artists,
NPR's Bobby Carter called the album "ironically titled." Reviewing the album for
AllMusic, Matt Collar wrote that, "DOMi & JD BECK often favor the overall vibe of a given track over, say, soloing in a traditional jazz sense. Consequently, it can be easy to ignore just how technically gifted Louna and Beck are in pure jazz terms." == Track listing ==
