"London writes songs that don't sound like anyone else's and her lyrics are far beyond childish concerns. "She's the one who broke your heart/left the blood and tore you apart," she sings on "Boys," an exploration of gender roles, seen from the perspective of the opposite sex. "You won't be able to sleep at night/ Elliot Smith and your 'Star Wars' night light." Being brave enough to embrace the unflinching music of Smith, yet being afraid of the dark. It's a feeling with which a teenager out to soak in real life, while aware of the danger, can identify." Michael Corcoran (Austin American-Statesman)
