"Like The Knife, with whom she has collaborated, Rostron loves '80s Yamaha synths-their reedy keys, synthetic pianos and parps of fake brass-and she squeezes a lot of tonal variety from that sound palette. With its pizzicato strings, courtly precision and breathless ruminations on "liquid sexuality," "Human Drama" recalls Patrick Wolf's melodramatic pop. Meanwhile, "Patriarchy Over & Out" and "Let's Talk About Gender, Baby" fuse elements of vintage disco, '80s synth-pop and ZE Records' eclecticism to create tracks that, though relatively basic in terms of production, are cleverly constructed and pack a surprising emotional punch".

"It's hard to sit still listening to jittery track Misogyny Drop Dead, the horn-sampling Public Love or Beyond Binary Binds, which sounds like Simian Mobile Disco fronted by Antony Hegarty. Rostron's tuned-down voice shines over the dirgey Answerland and a collaboration with the Knife, Let's Talk About Gender Baby, making her achingly earnest message playful and accessible".

"Hendes tredje album, All Love's Legal, er endnu en udforskning af det enorme land mellem de to hævdvundne køn. Ligesom de tidligere samarbejdspartnere The Knife bruger hun også pitching af sin stemme ned i mere mandige lejer for at blive til noget tredje. Og hun bruger sågar ansigtsproteser. Og hun synger ting som »It kind of feels that gender's just a lie.« Det ville alt sammen være ren gøgl, hvis ikke hun skrev så mørke torch songs, majestætiske lommesonater og plastikkirurgiske cabaret-sange. Hvis ikke hendes kunst med andre ord havde substans nok til at bære de ofte ret hårdhændet formidlede budskaber".
