    She radiates genuine personality, and her second full-length demonstrates just how well she can bend pop structures to her will and sound fantastic in the process.

    A fun, full-of-heart pop record that’s 2018’s first big surprise.

    Every single song breaks new ground for Morris – even the simple title track, which admittedly could have been found down the back of Chris Martin’s sofa.

    The title track sounds like it was written for a TV movie and Lower The Tone is a sexless sex-jam, but it's an energetic return regardless. [Mar 2018, p.113]

    Syrupy piano ballads remain a blind spot for Morris, who seems to be soundtracking ab imaginary Richard Curtis comedy n the sappy, soppy title track. But "rose Garden" is great, it's whopping Kate Bush-isms spliced with staccato mechanised beats. [Mar 2017, p.31]

    I'm so impressed with this album. I enjoyed "Unguarded" very much but felt that Rae still had some musical exploration to do, and that'sI'm so impressed with this album. I enjoyed "Unguarded" very much but felt that Rae still had some musical exploration to do, and that's exactly what "Someone Out There" delivered. It still has very strong songwriting like its predecessor, but with a bit more of an electronic/experimental vibe. Pretty much every song hits the nail on the head in some way or another.
