Upon release, Bob Eborall of Ealing Leader wrote: "Sam gives us the full works on a new album of across-the-range songs. Ranging from the jazzy title track to the rocking "They're the Ones", and my favourite tracks, "Embrace the Darkness" and the tender "Whisper"."[6] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described the album as "arguably her best effort yet". He commented: "She's developed into a first-rate songwriter, capable of crafting melodic, memorable songs with true emotion and depth. It's mature pop with many layers and levels."[5]

gollark: I'm hoping that asteroid mining technology becomes practical reasonably soon, both because of the future of the human of the race and all that and to annoy "people" who "invest" "in" "gold".
gollark: Unlike everything about what I'm going to call the MemeEconomy v2 alpha regardless of Noerdy's weird naming schemes!
gollark: German also has the possibly-misfeature of having gigantically long compound words where English has phrases or maybe sometimes hyphenated phrases.
gollark: English is very lacking as a language.
gollark: "You" for singular and plural, formal and informal.
