    Her lovely nuanced voice is fully spotlit amid the passions of both Stay and Better Off, showcasing a remarkable new talent. [Jun 2017, p.90]

    Over 12 tracks there are break-up cliches Parker can’t help but stumble into--“I’ve been blue over you” is the revolutionary gist of a song called Blue--but there is enough viscera on show here to make up for these well-worn sentiments.

    Some newer tracks while still enjoyably bleak, play straighter with acoustic guitars and a lot of vocal noodling, though it never feels like Radio 2-friendly folk pop is where Parker's strengths lie. [Jul 2017, p.112]
