Reception

Aidan Hogg from The AU Review said "'Monday' screams Jeff Buckley influences and we're definitely not complaining about that; layered vocals and simple percussion create an atmospheric space for Corby's falsetto to sit perfectly over." [2]

Hannah Marie from Atwood Magazine said "The hauntingly pure harmonic vocals Corby lays down at the beginning of the track signify the start of something special. From the first rustic, but oddly authentic click of the fingers, Corby has the listener hooked, and he continues to lay down a harmonic backing that seems to channel its roots within music from the Renaissance. Corby remains faithful to his signature sound, characterised by his convincing falsetto enriched with vibrato: It creates an immaculate tone that is difficult to ignore." [3]
