"Were it possible to divorce the songs from the film, their strengths would appear clearer. The sound design is excellent throughout, and Sia remains able to cut bubblegum with bile, as songs such as the flirtatious Hey Boy, and the orchestral Beautiful Things Can Happen, attest. Taken as part of Sia's own unfolding character arc, songs like Courage to Change have their moments, but it's hard to dispel the discomfort surrounding the entire project".
