    Let it Break is a record full of soft, pretty songs that are excellently produced. Despite being well put together, the record doesn't have the quality of material to grab you the way her brilliant debut did. Personally, while she's never been bad, I don't think any of her records since "Night On My Side" have come close to being as good. "Keep Running" harks back to old Gemma and is theLet it Break is a record full of soft, pretty songs that are excellently produced.

    Hayes has a tendency to wisp but this is offset by more exciting tunes such as the Cure-y single Keep running. [Dec 2012, p.106]

    Hayes sounds comfortably cocooned in her familiar musical skin with little need to venture outside the safety zone. [Nov 2012, p.75]

    While its melancholic and understated nature may not make much of an impression on first listen, it soon reveals itself to be a record of beauty which only confirms her undeniable class.
