“ Pretty amazing. ”
– Future Sounds

“ This album is weird but it tells (a) truth. ”
– Luna Kafé Music Reviews

“ Unwind your headphones to get the grand effect from Micropixie's sound. Delve beyond your own space, and into it. ”
– Ed Co. Ltd,

“ Each of her songs is singular, but precisely arranged from a wonderful manipulation of lovely lead vocals, ambient beats, tabla-playing, choir harmonies, and other surprise interludes. Between the beats there are many tiny discoveries to be found; whispered words behind other words, miniature contradictions, unexpected intersections of sound and meaning. ”
