The AU Review[3]

Emily Blackburn from The Music game the album 4 out of 5 saying "To Love You is openly authentic and raw at its core, delivering the ups and downs of whirlwind loves with tracks you can’t help but dance along too.".[2] Holly Leszczynski from The AU Review said "With a brilliant combination of upbeat, danceable electronic tracks and passionate, pop ballads, the album is one which will find itself permanently embedded in your summer playlist.".[3] Apple Music reviewed the album saying "On their sentimental debut, Sydney trio Glades trace the good, bad, and ugly of relationships and discover a universal truth: There's always a place for synth-pop power ballads, especially if you've been wronged." adding "Glades make glass-half-full love songs that you can sing, dance, and cry to all at once."[4] Lauren from Sounds of Oz described the album as a "perfect pop for the new millennium, with a fresh sound anchored by real heart."[5]
