Reception

Nate Fenningdorf from Play Date Media said "[Solo] which features, stomp-and-holler drums, complimentary keys and guitar and silky vocals, has everything you could ask for in an indie-folk song." [1]

In the EP review, Justine Kostka from Melo Maniacs said "Smith's emotive delivery and evocative lyrics paint a vivid portrait of heartbreak and resilience, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences of longing and acceptance." [2]
