Melanie revealed in an interview for Apple Music that this album marks the end of Cry Baby's trilogy. While the first two albums, Cry Baby and K-12 told the story of Cry Baby's life, PORTALS delved into Cry Baby's afterlife, right before her rebirth. Melanie stated that she would not include songs that had leaked before the album's release. However, despite several songs being leaked prior to the album's release, they still made it onto the album.

Emma Herold, writer for The Cavalier Daily, praised the album calling it a "statement of rebirth" for Martinez. [29] She noted that while there are "recognizable elements of Martinez's sound like syncopation and classic rhyme", she also felt there was a good combination of new sounds including "synth pop and a more harsh, grungy and dark tone". [29] On February 22 nd, 2023, the title, cover art and release date of PORTALS were announced, [39] as well as some details regarding the album's lead single.
