Critical reception
The album has received good reviews with Sidney Madden of XXL Magazine saying she shows growth and versatility on the album.{{cite web |url=http://www.xxlmag.com/rap-music/reviews/2015/07/dej-loaf-and-see-thats-the-thing-review/ |title=DeJ Loaf Shows Growth and Versatility on 'And See That's the Thing'| last=Madden |first=Sidney |date=July 30, 2015 |website=XXL Magazine |accessdate=May 12, 2016}} Robert Christgau from Vice gave the record a "B+", writing that it "begins with three rather joyful tracks—electric-celeste grindin' pledge 'Desire' to burbling-synth grindin' saga 'Been on My Grind' to—finally, some fun—Big Sean transactional-sex deal 'Back Up.' Then that killjoy Future starts nosing around, and I mean literally, in her pussy, which is as joyful as that one gets. And then comes two pieces of theoretical product".{{cite web|last=Christgau|first=Robert|authorlink=Robert Christgau|date=May 13, 2016|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/expert-witness-dawn-oberg-dej-loaf/|title=The Poet and the Hustler: Expert Witness with Robert Christgau|work=Vice|access-date=May 14, 2016}}
