"The comparisons to Adele are already rampant…. But that's hogwash. Britain's Rumer is up to something else entirely—no torrential downpour of faux-soul for her…. Her singing is suffused with a sense of knowing, making these songs of experience long for lost innocence. She holds back masterfully, knows when a whisper in your ear is enough, or when to lay on the k.d. lang-esque harmonies, as she does to breathtaking effect during the aching 'Slow.'… The mournful waltz that moves 'Take Me as I Am' along suggests what Amy Winehouse might have sounded like if she'd stuck around long enough to grow up…. These are pieces of pop perfection … immaculately constructed mini-symphonies that offer as much as you're willing to take from them."—Buffalo News

"A breathtaking talent…. Rumer's songs reach out and embrace you rather than hitting you between the eyes."—Sunday Mercury
