  1. 8.0 |   The Independent

    Smart as a whip, and the most engaging of singers
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    New Lily Allens are 10 a penny these days, but this album makes a reasonable claim to the title
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    Multi-layered bursts of thoughtful sunshine that merge Motown oomph with The Polyphonic Spree's sense of joy and a Dido-esque stateliness
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   The Digital Fix

    There are enough should-be hits, for one to hope that Blay finds the success she deserves
    Read Review

  5. 7.0 |   NME

    Smarter and more exciting than 99 per cent of the Top 40
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   The Fly

    With this Hackney lass’ heart-on-sleeve honesty and crisply-produced pop, she’s well on her way to becoming the thinking kid’s Marina & The Diamonds
    Read Review

  7. 6.0 |   DIY

    Blay clearly had the potential to swim ahead of the overrated critical pool of acts, but this album looks set to drown that potential
    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   Clash

    Reveals its catchy charms on repeated plays
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A missed opportunity to properly explore the complex issues of being a young woman figuring out her own identity in the twenty first century
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   Q

    Provides an interesting bridge between Adele and Lady Sovereign. Print edition only

  11. 5.0 |   BBC

    These are solid-yet-unspectacular pop tunes rather than uplifting anthems
    Read Review

  12. 4.0 |   The Observer

    Solid and well-crafted but rarely thrilling
    Read Review

  13. 3.0 |   Bowlegs

    Feels anaemic in comparison to previous releases, with none of the feeling, personality or attitude
