Critical reception


Drowned in Sound called the album "at times sensational, but so often so-near-so-far."[9] The Times called it "that most precious thing: a debut album that triumphantly, emphatically lives up to the promise of the clutch of singles and EPs that preceded it, and the thundering live shows that their charismatic singer, Leila Moss, takes command of so imperiously."[10]


Track listing
