CRITIC REVIEWS

83
A.V. Club

Despite Hanna’s avowed penchant for creative forward momentum, Run Fast’s ruminations on the past are most touching.

80
PopMatters

Overall, Run Fast looks like the opening salvo from a wonderful new band, and the start of a strong new chapter in Hanna’s musical career.

70
Pitchfork

This is the sound of musicians confident in their legacy and what they can do with it. 

70
AllMusic

Run Fast shows a constantly challenging and self-aware artist who has just as much to say as ever, and now approaches her craft with more nuance and experience. 

70
SPIN

Run Fast is certainly more benevolent and interesting than the myopic records most people make post-40 about their changing place in the world. Luckily, Hanna herself still has a lot to say — and sing and scream, too.

70
Consequence of Sound

The album’s 13 tracks hit some serious highs and a few middling snags, but that’s to be expected from a band’s debut, even if that band features a modern day hero like Hanna.

Fast, endlessly energetic, poppy punk rock.

Cool instrumentation, horrible voice's leading.
