Remember Me is typical of HBK Gang's output: a ton of demos and a few hooks so catchy you won't forget them for months. Sage has a deep and smooth voice, but his vocal delivery is halting and stilted, and he often fades into the crew's beats. 'Bad Girls,' where he reprises the.

Martin Caballero of USA Today said that 'Gas Pedal' only hinted at what his debut album will showcase, which is 'buoyed by energetic and richly textured beats, he deftly mixes slick raps with Auto-Tuned vocals on singles like 'Desert of Mirages'.'^[10] David Jeffries of AllMusic praised the album for containing tracks that exude the same energy that 'Gas Pedal' did, calling it a very good party album and praising Sage for being 'a great host, juggling familiar and fun with ease.'^[3] Craig Jenkins of Pitchfork Media praised Sage's production and vocal delivery for carrying a lot charm into the tracks, concluding that the album 'keeps its mood light and its stakes low, and in the process delivers a much needed breezy counterpoint to all the knotty, fatalistic shit coming out of HBK’s downstate peers that’s every bit as true to Cali as the gangsters and the thinkers.'^[7]

While finding the album filled with club tracks and lyricism that range from simplistic to odd, Jameel Raeburn of XXL found the production ear-grabbing and danceable, concluding that, 'There's no question that Remember Me is best served with the volume turned all the way up.'^[11] Christopher R. Weingarten of Rolling Stone was mixed about the album, giving credit to most of the tracks for being attention-grabbing but found it monotonous in its lyrical range.^[9] Erin Lowers of Exclaim! also praised Sage's production and voice for being distinct but criticized his lack of deeper lyrical content and songs for not leaving a lasting impact, saying that he 'presses the gas pedal too quickly before capturing your attention lyrically or sonically.'^[4]
