Telefone was released to rave reviews from fans and critics.
"Diddy Bop" featuring Raury and Cam O'bi was Beats 1's World Record on August 8, 2016.[7] Pitchfork gave the song "Diddy Bop" their "Best New Track" honor, with Jayson Greene writing:
"Diddy Bop" is luxurious and easy and warm, a reminiscence about good times, or better ones. Her voice is in a playful and confident middle range between forestalling, singing, and slam poetry, and her lyrics carve out enough details to fill the song with an entire imagined cast of characters—jealous boyfriends griping at girls in love with Raz-B from B2K; kids nabbing twenties from their mom's purse.."[8]
