Critical reception

Michael Cragg of The Guardian called the album a "pop miracle" and a "soothing balm perfect for fleeting dancefloor moments".[3] It was listed in The Guardian's top 50 albums of 2021, with journalist Laura Snapes relating the music to that of Lady Gaga, Donna Summer and Queen, whilst avoiding "pastiche on the strength of [the] songwriting".[4]
