The VLM
The short tracks vary dramatically across this album but together fuse as an exquisite confession of a prodigy. Dominic Fike does not want to confine himself into one delegated space and What Could Possibly Go Wrong reflects that perfectly.

UNF Spinnaker
Everyone should be able to find a song they enjoy with the versatility of this album. From orchestral string pieces to alternative rap and rock, this album has a little bit of everything. It was really interesting to hear parts of Dominic Fike’s backstory and “come-up” through the lyrics of these songs.

Daily Bruin
Fike’s debut is bold and brash, leaving the listener with the burning desire to hear more of Fike’s daring voice.

MSN
What Could Possibly Go Wrong will be a summer soundtrack for the 24-year-old’s Gen Z fanbase who, like Fike, feel carefree in the moment yet nihilistic about their future. It offers insight into the untrammelled spirit of an artist on the rise, one reassuringly unencumbered by expectations.

Montreal Rocks
His debut album has been 3 years in the making, and Dominic Fike shows he has a lot of momentum to keep going, all the while backflipping and sniffing lavender. There is something so compelling about him as a human being, and it will be very interesting to see where he goes from here as an artist. With this carefree go-with-the-flow music-making mindset… What could possibly go wrong?

Medium
Dominic Fike proves himself as one of Gen Z's most exciting new voices on his debut studio album "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?"
-
Uproxx
What Could Possibly Go Wrong is the tongue-in-cheek title of his excellent debut, a record that reflects the same dark sense of humor as his Apple logo tattoo inked in the place where a teardrop traditionally goes.
-
Happy Magazine
Fike can shred, rap, produce, and sing, so why not blend the best of these worlds? It’s this elasticity, creativity, and risk-taking that makes him such a magnetic figure.

The Eastern Echo
With perfect vibes for the summertime, this mixed-genre project is sure to put you in a good mood.

HipHop Hopscotch
To conclude, while not entirely awful this Dominic Fike album was disappointing. It wasn't like his EP which was punchy, catchy and entertaining, it was just for half of it tedious and at times you question the artistic choices he's making. 5/10
