  1. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    For the most part it works well, provided you can live with Dawn's butter-wouldn't-melt ingenue phrasing and tone

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Striking artist, sharp operator. Print edition only

  3. 7.5 |   BBC

    Mercifully she’s not beholden to quirk and there’s a shark-eyed steel to her lyrics

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Throughout the record though, she combines sweet and tender vocals with unbridled energy to create something genuinely infectious

  5. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    How I Knew Her is lacking a little in inventiveness at times, and some of its oddities will rub up people the wrong way but there are still plenty of great moments

  6. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Dominated by her fine, Jolie Holland-style whimsical vocals. Print edition only

  7. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    It’s a haunting and sometimes convoluted narrative, but what Dawn lacks in clarity, she makes up for in sheer force

  8. 6.0 |   Q

    Dinky jazz-pop that's old-fashioned fun on top but serious quality beneath. Print edition only

  9. 4.0 |   Spin

    What’s lacking is a single decent hook or anything remotely resembling fun

  10. 3.0 |   PopMatters

    Repeated listening to this album is a worldly torment
