"Lovely opener Before sees Wasner's vocals occupying the same state of electronic grace as Annie Lennox did on No More I Love You's, as drum machines and synths bubble and clatter around her crystal tones. That's not the only echo of 90s pop: Wasner's vocals recall Sinéad O'Connor at her purest, some tracks have a Corrs-like smoothness, and the introduction to Glory sounds like a classic Madonna track, but slower and encased in snow. However, they don't seem to have quite mastered songwriting within the new sound".

"On first listen, a sea of beautiful pastel shades seem to emanate, merging into one cohesive whole. Subsequent listens are far more revelatory however - discreet layers, hidden structures and careful attention to detail all emerging. The synth-based, electronic sounds do fleetingly recall the music made by bands like Talk Talk and Depeche Mode in the early 1980's (most notably on Glory) but Wasner and Stack put their own mark on it and ensure it sounds modern and relevant".
