"Innocence is Kinky originated as a sound and light instillation (Hval's music accompanying silent movie La passion de Jeanne d'Arc), but fleshed out, it becomes a soliloquy, considered a performance piece because of its spoken conversations and damagingly rhetorical questions. For an album that feels created on an empty plane, Hval still has antagonists and she is still asking questions of gender politics and a violent obsession with youth, as if these questions would exist if she were the last person alive".

"Sammenligningerne med PJ Harvey har der været en del af. Dels er hendes producer her på Innocence Is Kinky, John Parish, også fast samarbejdspartner med Harvey. Dels så går hun lige så bramfrit til begæret og kroppen som en ung PJ. Dels så knejser hun ofte i en nøgent klingende rockstruktur, som hun fylder med en ny form for rå ekspressionisme, akkurat som Harvey gjorde med sine to første plader, Dry og Rid of Me, i de tidligere 90' ere. Og så er hendes knejsende emotionelle sangstil også beslægtet med Sinead O'Connor".
