Reception
Ryan James Blair of Festival Forecast gave Joytime a 7.5/10 rating stating "Joytime starts strong with a screeching synth, mallet melodies, and a smooth bass as he taunts listeners with the vocal hook (Everybody Knows Me…. Marshmello).[4] The rest of Joytime does not vary much from the opening track as each song sticks to the strong formula that includes a smooth bass line, sharp synths, simple risers and percussion buildups, trap hats and strong kicks. Summer is perhaps the biggest change of pace with a nice downtempo beat, but at times the sub bass can almost be overwhelming for the slower tempo and context."[5]
