    One the strongest productions of the year with crystal clear, throaty guitars and snappy, garage band drums. Glaspy's voice is jazzy, soulful, beautiful.

    The album is good, but it would have been stronger with more thoughtful lyrics. Too many lines feel like they don't belong. On Female Brain, Glaspy sings about "dodging stones and sticks".

    10 songs that glint like shards of glass yet brim with love, grief, courage, existential doubt and all the stuff that makes us human, to a soundtrack of grungy alt.rock cut with torch-song melodrama and Lenker-ish folk. [Sep 2023, p.27]
