    The ethereal, dream-like soundscapes Barnett creates are no doubt enchanting, and the album kicks off with a bang. Overall, however, LP1 is a tiresome listen, the endless drivel of whispering falsettos and orgasmic vocal flurries making this the most sugar-coated, sexed-up and overly masturbatory R&B record this year. Which is a shame considering how talented Barnett can be when she's at her best.

    That the album works so well is less a testament of Twigs's charisma and talent--real as those may be--than it is the limitless possibilities of well-paid freelance teamwork. [Nov 2014, p.63]

    There are some excellent tracks here--‘Lights On’, ‘Two Weeks’, ‘Pendulum’--and her talent is obvious, but the men at the production desk could perhaps have been braver.
