Reception

Holly Pereira from Beat Magazine gave the album 4 out of 5 stars calling the album "ambitious" saying "Summing up Olympia is no easy task, with Self Talk exploring many different musical styles and themes to the point that no two tracks sound the same. The experimentation and pop sensibilities intrinsic to Bartley's music are enthralling, distinguishing her as one of the most dynamic performers in Australia at the moment."[2]

Mikey Cahill from Herald Sun gave the album 4.5 out of 5 calling the album "startling" saying "every song is a triple threat of concept, song and execution" and called 'Smoke Signals' the Oz single of the year.[3]
