The album received favourable reviews from critics, with Lisa Wright of NME Magazine, stating '‘Hunger’ will, like all great albums, undoubtedly polarise opinions, but take Frankie to your hearts and it'll swallow you whole'. [1] The Guardian said of the album that it is 'a tonic for winter-dulled spirits.' [2]
