|first=Conor|last=Lochrie|date=4 June 2021|website=The Line of Best Fit|quote=When I ask why it’s called a project rather than an EP, Audrey’s answer is conclusive. “I decided to call it a project because it didn’t really feel like an album to me. It’s a weird mix of different sounds and feelings. This feels more like an introductory piece, a way of saying ‘hi’ to everybody.”|access-date=20 May 2022}}
