“Fixed”, is an earworm that emphasizes Maple's tender, warm register. Her soulfulness is comforting and true, and there’s a longing in her lyrics that can only be found through age and experience, searching for a reciprocity of deep emotion. - PITCHFORK
All of the songs benefit from Maple’s gorgeous vocals thumbing out the centre. The set ended with a new single – well-formed and truly promising. The future looks bright, whether in London or rainy Sydney. – THE MUSIC SYDNEY
