    There’s a feeling of triumph and celebration imbued in these tunes, although Joan’s voice remains cautious even in the midst of the revelry. Ranging from wistful to giddy, this is an uncommonly expressive effort that boasts clear allegiance to modern pop while still remaining a step or so out of reach.

    ‘Broke Me In Two’, which you can already find online, is a good place to start if you’re looking for a sampler. Overall though, it’s a case of ‘good to have you back Joan’, and ‘next time, let’s have a bit more you and little less Lazar Davis’.

    This electronic pop set mostly convinces. [Nov 2016, p.31]

    Despite a few moments of oddball brilliance (namely on Broke Me in Two) and Wasser’s ever-mesmerising tones, this is a disjointed, narrativeless collection that doesn’t quite do the pair justice.

    A wasted opportunity. [Dec 2016, p.109]

    By recycling the same guitar and drum effects, it comes across as a poor man’s reworking of ‘Broke Me In Two.’ That only leaves you desperately wanting to return to the gems that frontload this curiously unbalanced album.
