"Taken together, the record's simple ballroom dance rhythms, memorable melodies, and nuanced performances are a recipe for pop confection, however unhappy".

"The songs on First Flower are vibrant and warm-fine dinner party music, if not gripping enough to stop the conversation in its tracks. Still, Burch's emotional openness and introspection are promising, and her technical skill is undeniable. Her highly versatile vocals add texture, nuance, and depth to everything she sings".

"Nothing is rushed, yet only the closing, melancholy, droning "Every Little Thing" ballad (where she repeats "I've worn my body down" with increasing urgency) breaks five minutes. Like Peggy Lee, Francoise Hardy, Jane Birkin and others, Molly Burch is a chanteuse, exploring the edges of noir songs with beauty, sadness, and an honest vulnerability that's powerful yet strikingly understated".
