In February 2023, Mallrat announced the 2023 Butterfly Blue Australian shows, commencing on 12 May 2023, on the eve of the album's first birthday, performing in state capitals.

[6] Retailer JB Hi-Fi said "Butterfly Blue features over a dozen clever and open-hearted tracks, it draws you in close and shows you the world through her wide, hopeful eyes.

"[12] Kristen S. Hé form NME said "Butterfly Blue is easily one of 2022s most charming Australian pop albums" calling "Rockstar" an "obvious highlight".

Hé also said, "Much of the Australian alt-pop artist’s debut screams potential hit – these compelling compositions are still perfect for bedrooms, but could captivate festival stages, too.

Often floating vocals, matched with clever pop hooks and at times minimalist beats, her songs branch across genres of country, folk and hip hop."
