Pitchfork gave Modern Bliss 7/10, [9] while Resident Adviser called it "a tightly produced, fluid and euphoric listening experience". [10] Billboard listed it as one of the ten electronic albums they were looking forward to, [11] Mixmag called it one of the best albums of 2020 so far, [12] and it was listed as #33 of Crack Magazine 's Top 50 Albums of 2020. [13]

Katie has also been praised for her mixes as Roza Terenzi, with Red Bull and Pitchfork both listing her work as some of the best in 2020. [14] [15]

[17] She later released a collaborative album with D. Tiffany titled Edge Of Innocence. [18]

Katie has been vocal about her support for social movements. In summer of 2020, during the rise of the BLM movement, Katie took to Instagram [19] to acknowledge the impact black culture has had on music and the fact that artists like her wouldn't be where they are without it. She also professed her solidarity to the indigenous peoples of Australia, the land where she grew up, and prompted fans to donate in support of these causes.
