Review[edit]
Ross Clelland from The Music AU said "[that] while these are mostly graceful adult pop songs, there is some intelligence and wit to the second guesses of "Keeping My Distance", or the typical thoughtful swing of "Everything I've Done Wrong". Her voice still feels and aches, and draws you in. Just classy."[2]
A staff writer from 'Out in Perth' said "Featuring 10 solid tracks of contemporary adult music, the album is a consistent offering of quality tunes that it easy to play through from start to finish without reaching for the forward button any stage."[3]
