Background
The album's title comes from Lil Tecca's astrological sign, Virgo, being born on August 26, 2002. It is believed that Virgos are logical and persistent, but sometimes feel shy and overly critical. Virgos are born any time from August 23 to September 22. The rapper had been teasing it for over a year prior to its release, posting snippets of a few songs. On September 4, 2020, it was speculated that it would be released soon.

Critical reception
Writing for Def Pen, Ryan Shepard offered a positive review, going on to opine that "he has shown and proved that he is looking to stay in this industry". On a mixed review of the album, Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork expressed his confusion with the clear meaning of the lyrics and that "a pocketful of catchy melodies and bubbly rhythms don't make up for a lack of anything interesting to say." Alex Zidel of HotNewHipHop gave a neutral review, explaining that "while his move to island-based production adds to some much-needed substance of Lil Tecca, it fails to come across as an authentic."
