[8] In November 2018, Bunton revealed that she had signed a record deal with BMG Rights Management and would be releasing a new album in 2019.

[11] The Irish News gave the album a 6/10 rating, naming "You're All I Need to Get By" the "strongest offering" on the record and referred to the rendition of "Here Comes the Sun" as "adorable", and concluding saying: "Some of her covers get lost in translation but mostly this is sweetly inoffensive".

[18] Mathias Frank of Gaeliste commented that the songs are "charmingly reinterpreted without destroying anything", praising the original tracks as well as the album's version of "2 Become 1".

[19] Nina Mende of Tempelores wrote that "with a warm and soft voice, [Bunton] is singing each song, comforting you so you will gently sway along".

[20] Chris Strieder of Darkstars awarded the album 7.5 out of 10 stars, calling its content "great and well-produced radio pop".

[12] The Leader called My Happy Place "a sweetly inoffensive body of work that shows off [Bunton's] tuneful, easy-on-the-ears vocal and loveable personality".

[16] Thiago Nolla of Cinepop gave it two and a half stars out of five, criticising it for lacking in personality and uniqueness and felt that Bunton lost herself "in the midst of so many unnecessary emulations" and seemed "stagnant in a remote past".

However, he praised "Too Many Teardrops" and "Baby Please Don't Stop", noting the latter has her "best vocals and creates a engaging, sexy and breathtaking atmosphere".

[21] Aimee Cliff of The Guardian gave the album 2 out of five stars, concluding the review by writing: "It’s heartwarming to hear someone who has been through the mill of pop megastardom emerge so blatantly, straightforwardly happy.
