Following excerpts taken from album cover:

  • We are in the midst of a truly exceptional English singer/songwriter - **** Mojo, 4/5 stars
  • Thea Gilmore's punk folk takes its lead from Bob Dylan. She belies her Tender years with an assertive lyricism which rings true and tellingly - Image:4of5.png The Guardian
  • There is no home grown talent to compare with this sweet voiced, sharp Edged 21 year old from Oxford - Image:4of5.png The Mirror
  • The only alarming thing about Thea Gilmore is just how good she is - Image:4of5.png The Independent
  • Bold, Uplifting, Anthemic, her best album to date - The Times
  • Haunting beauty, aching mood and elegant craft - Time Out
  • The best female singer songwriter of the last ten years and then some - Image:4of5.png Uncut
  • Britain has spawned very few world class singer songwriters, Gilmore is in a league of her own - Image:4of5.png Q
