  1. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    She’s got a sampler and the voice of cabaret diva but, most of all, she’s got a hell of a lot of chuztpah

  3. 7.0 |   All Music

    Throws an incredible amount of sounds into the mix, but the production successfully boils everything down into an accessible, easily digested final product

  4. 7.0 |   The 405

    Being is a bit fragmented, and purposefully so

  5. 6.4 |   Pitchfork

    Being is most compelling as a pop album when it’s not trying to hook you; the rest is promising, but perhaps could do with a little more dementedness

  8. 6.0 |   Q

    Feisty alt-pop from Canadian margins. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   Earbuddy

    Thompson-Hannant’s voice is thick and rich, like Wye Oak / Dungeonesse, and given the right approach, Mozart’s Sister can, and probably will, find herself in the upper echelon of electronic pop musicians

  10. 6.0 |   NME

    Joyous electropop with depth - dance beats, '80s-ish synths and Caila's soulful, voluminous vocals fanning out into gorgeous harmonies
