Critical reception

Meggie Morris from Renowned for Sound said "Citing her biggest influences as soul legends Minnie Riperton and Gladys Knight, as well as modern-day sirens Lauryn Hill and Amy Winehouse, it's no surprise that Grace's own musical vision centres on a soulful sound and dynamic, raw vocals that navigate a space between retro charm and contemporary relevance."
