    With hooks as deep as heartbeats, this has the sweep of the desert dunes in it. [Apr 2020, p.93]

    Are You In Love? is arguably not quite as immediate as Good Advice, with some songs taking a few listens to really find their feet. It may be one for more long-term fans than one that will provide her commercial breakthrough, therefore. But anyone who devotes some time will be able to give an answer to the question that the title track poses.

    Basia Bulat’s music can transport you to another place. It’s exactly the kind of comfort we need right now.

    13 exuberant folk-pop songs delivered with clarity, colour and conviction.

    Are You in Love? is full of inventive song structures and surprising production flourishes.

    The heart-tugging moments play to that devastatingly effective Appalachian-style yodel in Bulat's voice. [May 2020, p.25]

    Whether or not this will be Bulat’s breakthrough record remains to be seen. The sound sustains the suspense, but rarely does it leap out at the listener. It hardly matters though. Are You In Love? answers its own question with every repeated encounter.
