“Elle King is a little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll, but ultimately, she’s punk as fuck.” – Rolling Stone

“…King churned the clotted cream of punkish country, raw R&B, crotchety rock and deep blues into rich, buttery musical drama…(she) belted, crooned, purred, sauntered and swaggered her way through a tautly rocking set…one thing became very clear: nearly every song was equally contagious, catty-cool, and hit-worthy.” – Variety
