Reception

Tiffany Mitchell from Blank Gold Coast said "There is a definite likeness, personality and song savviness similar to US country twinkle star Kacey Musgraves. Lumsden confidently creates MGM grand musical numbers of little town observations. This is what we need in Australian country music right now; original instrumental intros and vibrant music production swirling with clever lyrics that are too good to throw away."^[4]
