"[9] Kish Lal from Sydney Morning Herald said This year is documented by songs written in quarantine, and Melbourne producer Alice Ivy joins the list with her second album...

"[10] Leland Tan from Beat Magazine said "Ever-changing and dexterous, Alice Ivy has knocked it out of the park on her inclusive sophomore album, Don't Sleep.

Dripping with luscious grooves that evoke a sense of vibrancy from a well-loved producer, every track holds the fort swimmingly in an album that’s an immediate cursor from debut, I'm Dreaming.

"[11] Marcy Donelson from AllMusic said "A touch uneven and mercurial but engaging and often infectious, Don't Sleep is another worthwhile set from an ambitious artist still finding her stride.

Balancing falsettos with rich soulful harmonics and moments of romance and melancholy, the partnerships we see flourish on this album stand strong on their own as much as they do in informing Don't Sleep's broader sound.
