Observer Music Monthly
Overpowered's bubbling, sensual, and soulful glitterball gems effortlessly tap into the perennial glory of feeling lost and lonely at the disco at the end of the world.

Stylus Magazine
While the commercial potential of her new album may be up for debate, as a showcase for Rosin Murphy’s talent, Overpowered is an enormous success.

Mojo
The joyous next single, 'Let Me know,' along with dark gems such as 'Primitive' and 'Movie Star,' make this close to a modern synth-pop classic. [Nov 2007, p.90]

Pitchfork
In a year of low-stakes disappointment for European pop, Overpowered is a triumph.

This is an album that exceeds expectations and is unlikely to disappoint those who do bother to listen to it.

Dot Music
She's melded the two sides of her history much more seamlessly; four-to-the-floor pop belters mix with touches of electronic and lyrical darkness to make one of the pop albums of the year.

Overpowered is both impressive and incredibly fun, but fun in a way that "Ruby Blue" wasn't: you don't have to think here.

Hot Press
Overpowered is a silvery mirrorball of a record that perfectly illuminates the neon heart of Saturday night.

Drowned In Sound
Not once does Overpowered really drag its feet, but it never truly impacts with the might one could possibly expect from an artist with such a fine pedigree.

New Musical Express
The result is a thoroughly modern pop album that will best appeal to ageing clubbers.
