Critical reception

The Huffington Post's Jon Chattman wrote, "Krissy Krissy has a distinct voice that stands out in a crowd, and by crowd, I mean a music industry with a bunch of pretenders and clones."[9]MTV Buzzworthy wrote "“Tracks like “Broken Glass” showcase Krissy’s sultry vocals (we’re feeling some Mary J. Blige soul vibes mixed with some Natasha Bedingfield flair and even a little Mary Mary gospel realness)".[10] The website Vashtie has described her as "a rising star"[11]
