Reception
In The Irish Times, Tony Clayton-Lea rates this release 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing that it "weaves a deliciously measured path between perceived shortcomings, vulnerability and gradual acceptance". Writing for The Line of Best Fit, Bethan Eyre gave this album an 8 out of 10, for uniquely exploring love as a topic and making "a record of vulnerability and introspection". NMEs Sophie Williams rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, calling the music "intimate and diaristic". The editors at Paste picked this for one of the 10 best albums of June 2023, with critic Matt Mitchell calling it "a collage of different genres and experiments, ranging from delicate synth-pop to singer/songwriter alt-rock" and in a profile of the musician for the magazine, Mitchell elaborated that the release "is, at its core, an album that dares to make sense of growing pains without coming to some grand solution for how they got there or how long they will endure".
