Turn Off the Light (album)

After the release of Turn Off the Light, Vol. 1, Petras initially announced Turn Off the Light, Vol. 2,[6] and even as late as early September 2019, said the follow-up EP would be arriving on 1 October.[5] Instead, on 29 September, Petras announced that she was giving fans "the whole damn story", posting a pre-order link and track list for the compilation album.[4][8]

Writing for Billboard, Stephen Daw wrote that the album "maintains the club-infused production of the album's first volume", and pointed out that the tracks "There Will Be Blood", "Wrong Turn" and "Death by Sex" sounded "like Daft Punk deep cuts imbued with demonic synths and blood-curling beats".[9] MTV News' Trey Alston noted songs such as "There Will Be Blood", calling the track "an electrifying slice of Petras singing about your demise", alongside "Bloody Valentine", describing the track as an "awesome midnight funk that could get even Frankenstein onto the dance floor", together with "Omen", a "cheery and sinister" song that "sounds like the excitement that vampires get as they stare at exposed necks in the middle of the club".[10] Writing for Paper magazine, Michael Love Michael praised “Wrong Turn”, writing that the “music is appropriately adventurous: a dark, bouncy synthline and Petras' quivering vocal performance keeps momentum going, like victims running from a masked killer”.[11] In separate article, Michael said that the newer sounds were "scarier" as they incorporated "familiar sonic tropes like thunder, dramatic organ, haunted children's choirs, mutated screams, and more unexpected sounds, like knives scraping against each other".[12] Idolator's Mike Nied gave the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, writing that it was "tailor-made for fans of tightly produced pop bangers and all things fright-inducing".[13]

The song "Party Till I Die" was included on Billboard's list of the best LGBTQ songs of 2020.[14]
