[13] In March 2013, Maura Johnston described Rose's song "Who Am I" as "it's a hard listen at first, its swirling elements coming together in that odd way, but its charms eventually took me over." [14] The May 2013 issue of HipHopLead.com reviewed Devyn Rose's work and commented that her songs were "a testimony of her struggle and her accomplishments [while] she sings within her range and makes it work to a tee."
