[1] The album was written, composed, and performed by Du Blonde and produced by Bad Seed and Grinderman member Jim Sclavunos.
[2] After Beth Jeans Houghton's debut album Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose's release in 2012, she and the band toured extensively, performed at high-profile musical events, including Glastonbury, The Great Escape, Latitude and Bestival.
[2] "Clearly, Houghton's found fertile ground in connecting with her inner rage monster, but there's a different side to the album too: anthemic glam rock reminiscent of Bowie's work with guitarist Mick Ronson," noted NME's Dan Stubbs in his 4/5 rating review.
"[9] "Welcome Back to Milk gives Du Blonde's blisteringly creative mind space to experiment, and her edits show immaculate choice," Nina Corcoran of Consequence of Sound wrote, praising the artist's voice and inventiveness.
[3] "Du Blonde is a triumph on nearly every level and her new MO (in short – loud guitars, rage) is a blast," opined The Skinny's Gary Kaill.
[8] "There aren't many musicians in the country as creative and as interesting as her at this point in time, and Welcome Back To Milk represents another triumph in her weird and wonderful saga," Drowned in Sound reviewer Paul Brown concluded, providing another 4/5 rating.
[10] Houghton "has managed to marry her way with a melody and an arresting image with a splash of ire and a dollop of heartbreak, resulting in a hugely likeable and enjoyable whole," according to Jude Clarke of The Line of Best Fit.
