## Critical reception[edit]

Professional ratingsReview scores

Source| Rating
The Guardian| [4]
Dork| [5]

Michael Cragg of The Guardian rated the album 3 out of 5 stars complementing Spencer-Smith's "big voice" and the album's "few frayed edges", but felt that the album "plays the emotional bloodletting a little too safe".[6] Writing for Dork, Martin Young noted the "run of ballads and sky scraping anthems including towering highlight ‘That Part’ [as] hugely impressive" but felt the album "could do with a little bit more dynamism to lighten the heavy atmosphere just a touch".[7]
