"Album of the week" - "[Willow] turns shards of metal, operatic harmonies, alt-rock and avant garde electro into a confident album without breaking a sweat".

"Willow fortsætter med at udforske rockgenrens facetter på albummet 'Coping Mechanism', der ligesom sidste års 'Lately I Feel Everything' understreger, at hun er noget af det bedste, nutidens poppunk-scene har at tilbyde".

"Building upon the stylistic jump of 2021's Lately I Feel Everything, Willow takes that effort's pop-punk energy and aggressive rock spirit and bests it with her fifth full-length, Coping Mechanism. Sitting nicely beside contemporary releases by Poppy and Rina Sawayama, the set is a revelation in terms of artistic growth, packed with angst, frustration, and anger that Willow communicates with her heaviest songs to date".

"Willow thrillingly mashes up rock history ... The emo-pop wild child's fifth LP is her best yet ... On Coping Mechanism, recorded with guitarist and producer Chris Greatti, Willow's idiosyncratic songwriting is paired with arena-headliner production, and the results often add up to a thrill ride, with the high drama of her lyrics and vocal performances equivalent to the tumultuous music surrounding her ... Willow's musical ambition has always been there, but here it's matched by larger-than-life rock that borrows from multiple eras, smashing those influences into something new".

"Her i 2022 har den nu 22-årige Willow Camille Reign Smith leveret sit femte album. <Copingmechanism> er et medrivende, insisterende og superdynamisk rockalbum ... Der er ikke nok fremragende sange til et helt fremragende album, men der er mange lysende følelsesudladninger. Og Willows harmoniske styrke og store vokale præstation gør <Copingmechanism> til et adrenalinkick direkte i selvmedlidenheden".
