"an impressively woven tapestry of affirmational lyrics, girl-group chants, and deep, slashing guitars" - Pitchfork
"Sistahs experiments with genre, and this is evident in the second track and first single from the album, ‘Fall Asleep’. Bursting forth with synths and handclaps, the repurposing of these 80s/90s tropes turns this into a tough dance punk track that throws off any assumptions that this album is going to be a wholly bedroom listen." - The Quietus
