"The album was recorded in eight days, and sounds it: tracks such as Second Guess, which brings to mind Robert Plant and Alison Krauss's warm alliance, feel like demos, but that's fine. The sketchier and more organic a track - such as Unbeliever, with its drowsy acoustic guitar and vague musings about being "a thousand miles from nowhere" - the more charming. Their cover of No Ordinary Love, stripped of any adornment but piano, makes Sade's original sound like Metallica. Pink, credited here under her real name, Alecia Moore, slips in a few scaled-down power ballads, but these are also utterly lovely".

"Vurdering: C+" - "P!nk and Green don't stick to merely trading vocal leads mid-verse or harmonizing - there are songs where one seems to take over and particularly shine. Album closer "No Ordinary Love", in particular, features Green at his most bare; while P!nk sings one verse, her delivery is tame compared to Green's soft yet gut-wrenching calls ... Their chemistry together is so strong that this album feels more like a third or fourth album than a debut. The biggest fault on Rose Ave. is its lack of signature moments, almost as though they're aware neither has anything to prove, that this passion project is just for them. There are no ground-shaking, world-changing moments here, but there isn't a single song that doesn't feel enjoyable".
