  1. Expert Witness (MSN Music)

    The riot godmotherrr commands pretty much the same old skinny soprano, only with soft edges that sound tender or thoughtful sometimes.

    Even through the heavier topics of illness and recovery, a melodic sense of dance carries the message, but what delivers the punch is Hanna's voice.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    Sep 16, 2013

    It’s a more honest, human, realistic--and totally wonderful--guide to life.

    Now more than ever, Hanna's voice and music resonate and inspire. [Oct 2013, p.88]

  5. Consequence of Sound
    Sep 3, 2013
    70
    The album’s 13 tracks hit some serious highs and a few middling snags, but that’s to be expected from a band’s debut, even if that band features a modern day hero like Hanna.
  6. Pitchfork
    Sep 5, 2013
    70
    This is the sound of musicians confident in their legacy and what they can do with it.
  7. Uncut

    The Julie Ruin are best when playing it a little goofy. [Nov 2013, p.74]
