"It's still difficult to discern Ainsworth's concrete artistic identity. She's a formally trained singer, musician, and composer with an interest in Baroque art, who also refers to contemporary dance choreographers as "genius"; she's an artist who performs her music flanked by a violinist and a cellist, but has no problem adding a live snake into her onstage arrangement; her songs rely as much on the delicate '80s pop of Peter Gabriel's So as they do 19th century choral music and Bulgarian folk singing. Throughout Right from Real, Ainsworth refuses to ever be only one thing, so by the end of her debut, it's clear she's an artist capable of most anything".

"Vurdering: B" - "The album's eight songs owe a substantial debt to Kate Bush and Imogen Heap by way of the former's quirky phrasing and sharp-as-glass observations and the latter's technical experimentation. "Moonstone" could easily replace David Bowie's smirking in the nightmarish masquerade ballroom scene of Labyrinth with its music box daintiness and woozy outbursts by a disembodied Siri-like figure. Disparate elements blend together in "The Truth", from a pinch of Tori Amos piano to repeated shallow breaths of a bleating bagpiper who is never allowed to fully exhale. Propulsive orchestrations give the whole thing a cinematic vibe akin to a high-speed wolf chase through the snow past towering Douglas firs".
