    "Dream Wife" (2018) fue una bienvenida introducción a la carrera de este trio de chicas no binarias. Ese debut demostró que todavía necesitaban crecer pero que dar un paso atrás sería difícil. De alguna forma, como parte de conocerse a si mismas, "So When You Gonna..." resultó ser ese paso hacia atrás. Disfruto mucho la furia en su Punk y Garaje Rock, sin embargo esa furia está apaciguada y distante en este álbum. Aquí se toman las cosas con un poco más de Pop, Indie y tranquilad, y está bien, hasta cierto grado han logrado expandir el tamaño de su público, pero no encontraremos aquí la determinación y la imagen que prometieron en su debut. Producido por Marta Salogni, el valor más grande de este proyecto es el espacio dedicado a la voz de Rakel, que se luce con belleza, sensibilidad y fuerza. Solo queda esperar a ver si retoman la energía de un principio o si le dedicarán más tiempo a explorar su propio espectro, lo cual está bien.

    "Dream Wife" (2018) was a welcome introduction to the career of this non-binary trio. That debut shows that they still needed to grow but giving a step backward would be difficult. Somehow, as part of knowing themselves, "So When You Gonna..." turned out to be that step backward. I enjoy a lot the fury in their punk and Garage-Rock, however, that fury is appeased and distant in this album. Here they are taking things with a little more of Pop, Indie, and ease, and that's cool. To a certain degree, they have managed to expand their public, but we won't find here the determination and image promised in their debut. Produced by Marta Salogni, the biggest value of this project is the space dedicated to the voice of Rakel, which shows off with beauty, sensibility, and strength. It only remains to wait and see if they decide to retake the energy of the beginning or if they will spend more time exploring their own spectrum, which is fine.    … Expand

    So When You Gonna... sets Dream Wife up nicely as a radical band their day, actively engaging with the major issues at hand, progressive in their sound and statements, and making the case for re-evaluating how gender is viewed in the music industry and beyond.

    It’s a bold step forward in developing a more sophisticated sound and refusing to retread old ground. However, the lack of Alice Go’s epic power riffs does deprive it of some of the raw power and explosive energy that has made them one of the most thrilling live units in the UK.

    Pop-punk trio deliver glittery hooks and raw feminine energy. [Jul 2020, p.87]
