"Soft Sounds from Another Planet is a giant leap forward for Japanese Breakfast; the move to a bigger sound results in a sure-handed modern pop record full of memorable songs, heart-wrenching vocals, and bottomless emotional depth".
"Inspired by the cosmos, Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner addresses life on Earth. Her voice shines over melancholic arrangements, evoking Pacific Northwest indie rock as much as shoegaze".
"Michelle Zauner vil fortælle ekstremt meget på én gang - og også for meget. Men hun er en personlig og moden sangskriver og hendes guitarpotpourri af varierede, popsange viser sit sande potentiale på højdepunkterne 'Diving Woman', 'Road Head', 'Machinist', 'Soft Sounds from Another Planet' og 'Boyish'".
