"Generally, the sparser, the better; when it's just her keyboard, wistful voice and an unassailable melody (...), she's rawer than you might expect. Dabbling with high-sheen pop, on the other hand (...), rinses away the vulnerability that's her strong suit. As an overall introduction, though, the album portends a future bookended by the Radio 2 playlist and not undeserved comparisons to Adele".
