"Best New Music - "On her second album, the New York pop songwriter broadens her sound without sacrificing brevity, fitting grander ideas into the same compact frame. It's one of the best little pop albums of the year".

"Janky Star is still a small record, one that still pulls towards the end of a night out instead of the beginning. Unlike 2nd though, the size of the record comes from Ives' intimacy more than her scale and abilities, and because of that, feels more inviting and encompassing than it actually is. Ives may have teased an even more outright move towards the middle of "Lullaby" but until then, she's already proved she doesn't need to hide behind any lo-fi aesthetics, she's the real deal".
