Banks began The III Tour in support of the album in September 2019.[5]

III received positive reviews from music critics. AtMetacritic, which assigns anormalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received anaverage score of 76, based on 11 reviews.[12] Narzra Ahmed ofClash stated "III is definitely a progression for her as an artist. The more upbeat tracks are interspersed among softer, more delicate, heartfelt ones that represent the duality of her personality and also increase its replay value".[14] Rhys Harding ofThe Line of Best Fit commented, "Overall, Banks has taken a step forward in her development as an artist, and you can hear this increase in maturity across each album. At times, her evolution is not as convincing as other artists on her level, though the quality of the songwriting here generally makes up for that".[22]

FromNME, Nick Levine concluded that "III is probably a couple of tracks too long, but Banks has created another supremely intriguing musical world filled with ear-snagging lyrics and quirky production flourishes: the lone dog-bark sound effect before the final chorus of 'Gimme' is a classic Banks touch. It's difficult to avoid the conclusion: 'that bitch' is a pretty apt description for her after all".[18]Will Hermes ofRolling Stone wrote, "Banks clearly encouraged them [her collaborators] to swing for the fences: The distressed sonics get as extreme asLow got on last year'sDouble Negative, albeit in much different context. It's thrilling, gutting stuff".[1] Roisin O'Connor fromThe Independent viewedIII as "Banks's most cohesive album to date because she's no longer restricting herself to exploring one feeling at a time".[17]
