"Noah Cyrus exceeds expectations with [her] debut album ... Experiences of love, pain and confusion, poured into an extraordinary work of music that showcases a young woman's ability to translate feeling into song. Steeped in sprawling soundscapes that combine infectious pop sensibilities with the country soul of Noah's southern roots, The Hardest Part finds Cyrus at her most vulnerable. It's the truest expression of a journey of recovery and healing ... With its attention to detail and exceptional vocal delivery, The Hardest Part is a debut for the ages. An album that is both culturally relevant and sonically refined to the point of timelessness. If Cyrus can make pain sound this beautiful, her take on love must be otherworldly".
