Reception
Double J said "Musically, the record shimmers as beautifully as any of Dyson's best work. Her rich and expressive voice melds with stunning guitars and pianos to great effect yet again."[3] The Australian gave the album four stars and wrote: "The eclecticism on her seventh album is evidence of how far this expat Australian has come as a singer, songwriter and guitarist since her 2003 debut."[4] Rolling Stone Australia listed the album as the 45th best Australian album of 2024, calling it "[...] a beautiful, gut-wrenching account of the physical and emotional aftermath of a near-death experience."[5]
