"Though intense, Choosing is neither tiresomely solipsistic, superficially confessional or maudlin. Despite its lyrical facility, it is conversationally matter of fact. It is also not sorrowfull. The songwriter is at a distance from what's recounted. Jamieson has followed her two 2020 EPs with an album where the core themes don't overwhelm what's heard. Taken together, the arrangements, melodies, songs and voice could be enough. The forcefulness means Choosing instantly makes its case. It also means the initial impact does not dissipate".
