The Line of Best Fit
No matter how many times she’s labelled ‘the next Grimes’, there’s nought they can do about the fact that this one, well, she’s really one on her own.

Exclaim!
Everything about the album is deliberately simple, but with some inspired production choices added to the mix.

Tiny Mix Tapes
Mozart’s Sister’s debut is a living monument to dead stasis.

AllMusic

The great tracks are incredible and the rest are not too bad, but Being is strong enough as a whole to offer hope that Mozart's Sister is a project still finding its voice, with even better work ahead.

The 405

Being is a bit fragmented, and purposefully so.

Pitchfork
Mozart’s Sister is the alt-pop project of Montreal’s Caila Thompson-Hannant, formerly of Shapes and Sizes. Her debut LP is most compelling as a pop album when it’s not trying to hook you; the rest is promising, but perhaps could do with a little more dementedness.

NME
The Canadian one-woman band specialises in exuberant, joyous pop.

DIY
Mixed, fidgety, but rewarding.
