"Young Detroit native, fusing a feel for her hometown’s girl-group era with a distinctive post-Kate Bush soprano style and sticky-sweet, memorable choruses." -- Stereogum

 

"Chugging drums and multi-layered acoustic guitars hiss and wheeze and give the track both a rolling sense of forward motion and depth." -- Pitchfork

 

"Layered with clever pop instrumentals, almost impossibly catchy refrains and smart tips-of-the-hat to her motown roots (...), Winston's songs are about to receive a much bigger audience." -- Filter

 

"She draws you in with supple harmonies and a delicate, sexy timbre; it’s whimsical and rocking, but soulful at the same time." -- Glamour

 

"As a songwriter, she's got a knack for thematic quirks that sneak into your subliminal, and with help from the Knocks and others, every song has a substantial melodic surge that threatens to transport you back to some mid-'90s women-in-rock fantasia (...). Back then, some dick like me would've dubbed her a 'Lilith pretender' or something equally reductive; now she's just refreshingly talented." -- Spin Magazine

 

"Winston takes strong inspiration from Motown girl groups and crafts nostalgic pop songs, but she sets herself apart from her predecessors, by using the pop song formula to showcase more thought provoking lyrics. Her stage persona shifted from dramatic to funny multiple times and she never fails to deliver as a vocalist or performer." -- Brooklyn Vegan

 

"A giddy energy courses through Winston's material. She plays sprightly songs that are centered on her chirpy vocals and lilting melodies, pop nuggets that are irrepressible with their energy and immediacy but never too saccharine." -- Washington Post

 

"Her sound is hard to pinpoint- she has similar sensibilities to other rising stars like Ellie Goulding and Sky Ferreira, but with a soulful, Diana Ross-inspired edge" -- Nylon
