  1. 8.0 |   The Independent

    A breakup album in which her evident pain is transmuted into poetry and melody which, in turn, feeds back to help her overcome it

  2. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Orangefarben harbours a great deal of warmth and assurance in amongst its heartbreak

  3. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    This is a solid record that swims in beautifully melancholic waters more often than not – and anything with Baenziger’s tones on it gets my vote

  4. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Another taste of honey from sensitive, young country-folk minstrel. Print edition only

  5. 7.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Gentle, contemplative and warming, it marks the obligatory milestone of the failed relationship but turns it into something passing and positive

  6. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    When a naturally quirky performer strives for maturity or has it thrust upon them on a break up album they’re on shaky ground. It’s a limiting, almost one dimensional, musical identity

  7. 5.0 |   BBC

    Sounds disappointingly at home as background listening

  8. 5.0 |   DIY

    When you compare Sea Of Bees to the dark songstresses of the moment - St Vincent and Daughter- Baenziger’s own monster under the bed does seem a little less fearsome

  9. 4.0 |   Mojo

    Pleasant and forgettable. Too many melodies sound the same. Print edition only
