Critical reception

Celeb Mix writer Ellie Doe-Demosse stated: "Bibia Be Ye Ye is 100% one of the greatest songs on this album. For those of you who are intrigued by the title and its meaning, Bibia Be Ye Ye means “all will be well” in one of Ghana’s many native languages, Twi. Yes, Ed wrote this song while he was staying in Ghana on his hiatus and again, we love how he incorporated African/Ghanaian culture in his album. It displays diversity among different cultures, and that’s a special and unique thing to see, which is something we love a lot."[4]
