“Bonze is one of those few artists today doing something different” - Jess Izsatt (BBC Introducing London)

“Coupling lucid storytelling with a dreamy electronic musical lexicon that has seen him compared to savants of a similar sound like The 1975, Metronomy, and Jai Paul, Bonze’s third single of the year is an indisputable win for the multi-hyphenate” - Wonderland

“(His music) is a neat piece of clipped, downbeat electronic pop, reminiscent of New Order in places, while also recalling Metronomy's artful side.” - CLASH
