    The story of a young female songwriter pushing back against the sexist songwriters on her major label and modern pop’s oppressive beauty standards is an impressive one. The cautious Sucker Punch could do with more of that insurrectionist spirit.

    Sigrid is at her best when difficult emotions complicate her pop endorphins. ... Yet there’s a slight feeling, for all the quality here, that she could have maintained her momentum while taking a few more risks with her high-polish sound.

    [Business Dinners is] a moment of offbeat delight on an album otherwise characterised by earworm-centric efficiency--and the kind of gratifyingly idiosyncratic move a supposed pop renegade would benefit from making more often.

    A pretty good debut album from Sigrid, Despite only releasing her first LP now and it featuring some tracks from her Don't Kill My Vibe EPA pretty good debut album from Sigrid, Despite only releasing her first LP now and it featuring some tracks from her Don't Kill My Vibe EP back in 2017, It doesn't change the fact that she is keeping on top of her hype and continuing to deliver is very respectable fashion.

    There are a few tracks to mention here many of which have been heard before such as standout songs like Sucker Punch, Strangers, Don't Feel Like Crying and Don't Kill My Vibe.
    Meanwhile, the tracks that are added on here, for the most part, don't feel like filler to simply make an album. Most notably In Vain a very stripped back love song that is captivating from the get-go and a superb performance from Sigrid to say the very least, perhaps my favorite on the entire album, or even her entire Discography to date.
    The only thing I have to mention is that Business Dinners doesn't do anything to the album that adds to it and found it to be nowhere near as good as the rest of the cuts on here and would've much rathered seen Plot Twist on here instead.
