    From this irrepressible debut, we can deduce that Katy B is a genuinely exciting UK urban vocal talent, the like of which we haven't seen in some time.

    On A Mission is the sound of the dancefloor being brought to the pop charts.

    With its onus on hooks, the result is an enjoyable, lightweight pop album. [May 2011, p.104]

    This debut from Katy B is not just a collection of clubbangers or party music. It is far more than that. It manages to translate the club ambient into the pop music world without getting hollow or common, but dazzling and funny. She has her own words and ways to make dubstep/electro-pop, as it shows in 'Broken Record', 'Witches Brew' and 'Katy on a mission', this last one combining some R&B and 'Bjorkism'. It's a freshness never seen before, and she's paving her way to the top.… Expand

    A nice little album and really exceptional for a debut. It would be nice to see her sing over some slightly harder dubstep/dnb groves much like Jenna G as I do think there is space in the scene for 2 exceptionally great singers.… Expand
