Entertainment Weekly
A handful of tunes on this one-named wonder's debut are as cool as anything you'll hear this summer.

Sure, it's commercial, but Rosey's expert melding of dance beats and hippie dippiness adds up to a debut slick with beatnik cool. [#8, p.122]

It's an impressive debut, and one that justifies the hype she's gotten.

E! Online
Some of the livelier tunes don't suit her as well, and neither does overproduction. Luckily, Rosey's vocals shine through where it counts.

Rolling Stone
A vibrant new artist bursting with individuality.
60
PopMatters
When the album fails, it usually does so by not capitalizing on her honey-burnt pipes or by creating musical backdrops that are muddled, meandering dumps of dull.
50
All Music Guide
It's distinctly focused with an urban appeal while rooted in rock, and a bit comparable to the likes of Poe, Fiona Apple, and Beth Orton.
