"It is Lizzie's enchanting voice that really draws you in to her sublime world; a fragile tremolo that makes you want to sit close and listen to her stories...It is the title track that impresses the most, with a catchy refrain and dark, menacing accompaniment. This track could well be one of the best songs you'll hear all year."
Mike Wilson, Folking.com on "Hungry EP"
"Nu-folk with a knack for a melody and some quirky lyrics. Lizzie is unique enough to stand out from the crowd but accessible enough to get her noticed on a wider scale. Clever songs, beautifully recorded, perfectly delivered. Who says you can't have it all?"
Liverpool.com Magazine on "Hungry" EP
"Hugely impressive lyrics and delicate acoustic backing... the whole production and feel of the disc is much more than you'd expect from a debut release. She's certainly a real talent, and one to watch for the future..."
Fish Records on "Monkeys and Devils" EP
Her voice is resolute, her guitar technique admirable and all of her songs memorable... a collection of lovely songs and a spellbinding turn on the ukulele. Very special stuff indeed.
