[11] Harry Thorfinn-George at The Arts Desk gave Fabiana Palladino 4 out of 5 stars, characterizing the work as "a strong debut album which serves as a formal introduction to an artist who has been on the side-lines for too long".

[12] Editors at The Fader chose this among the best releases of the week, where Sandra Song called it "vulnerable, honest, and intimate... [with a] kind of raw human touch you'd expect from a D.I.Y.

[15] Sam Franzini at The Line of Best Fit rated Fabiana Palladino an 8 out of 10, characterizing it as "a near-effortless reinvention of retro pop, soul, funk, and R&B tracks with a glossy modern sheen, setting the stage for more grandiose statements in the future".

[16] Tony Stamp of Radio New Zealand ended his review of this release, "the main thing that’s drawn me back though is the resolve in her voice, and the way she crafts melodies that evoke the past, but manage to feel current".

[19] On 4 June, Stereogum did a roundup of the best albums of the year so far and ranked this 19, with Tom Breihan stating that "Palladino’s voice glides over tricky beats and slippery keyboards".
