The Australian	[5]

Phil Stafford of The Australian said the album "typifies its title with self-contained, radio-friendly tales of resetting, expressing identity and savouring the similarly indelible aftertaste of romance." Stafford praised Gill’s songwriting, "Gill's songcraft betrays a precocity that blooms" and backing from Paul Kelly's band "strikes a balance between sympathetic and stepping out." ^[6]
