[5] Dork 's Laura Freyaldehoven scored this album 4 out of 5 stars, calling it a "soundtrack of smouldering percussions and free-roaming melodies, Billie tells stories of love and longing, of forgiveness and the give-and-take that is the unspoken foundation of every relationship" where "each song uncovers a different aspect of what it means to love and be loved". [6] At Gigwise , Samantha Andrews rated this release 8 out of 10 stars, describing the listening experience as "it feels like you have stumbled onto something truly enchanting" where each song "offers a new story or perspective for you to get lost in with each listen".

[8] In The Skinny , Abbie Aitken gave this work 4 out of 5 stars, stating that Marten "has beautifully recollected a collection of intimate feelings, thoughts and sentiments, transforming them into introspective songs that are hauntingly relatable to any listener". [9] Editors of The Daily Telegraph shortlisted this as one of the best albums of the week and critic James Hall gave it 3 stars out of 5, calling it "a confident, interesting and accomplished album" that has "stained elegance", but that is weaker than contemporaries such as Weyes Blood, Lana Del Rey, Laura Marling, and Nina Nastasia.
