Erin Bashford from Dork said of the album: "the record plays with folk and country alongside its indie rock roots. Anna has polished her brand of soft, saccharine, harmonic indie rock, and with that, presents these nine songs as a modern tale of cities and people. [The album] is a cogently written record, characterised by its barbed lyrics and dreamy instrumental." Susan Darlington from Loud and Quiet said: "Smart without giving the impression of trying too hard, Burch’s debut is full of subtle ear-worms and a lyrical intimacy that makes her the girl you want to hang out with at college."
