"... these moments feel more vibrant, hopeful, and authentic than ever before, as if Thea herself is entering full bloom ensconced in the Norwegian countryside." - Under the Radar
"The ten songs are all little candies ... beautifully arranged and well played, and which seems to have been created during very creative tornadoes. Her characteristic and bright voice also comes into its own better than before. Like a Kate Bush on concentrate, who has listened to more The Cure and The Church than Brian Eno and Roxy Music." - 5/6 - iTromsø
"It's easy to get carried away by songs like "Misery Mountain" and "Rip Tide". - Dagsavisen
"The album has a flavor of liberation: Raknes sounds like she's on a creative trial run, but still keeps to the foundations of pop. ... Her voice is heartfelt and full of contrasts. The words are often melancholic, and regularly compete with the organic melodies that suggest carefreeness." - 5/6 - Stavanger Aftenblad
