"On this 2020 full-length album, Celia Woodsmith, Kimber Ludiker, and Jenni Lyn Gardner decided to charge into musical territory previously unexplored by the group. With the assistance of producer Dan Knobler - a veteran of records by Kelsey Waldon, Caroline Spence, and Lake Street Dive - Della Mae adds considerable aural texture to their sound, weaving in keyboards, electric guitar, organ, and drums, not to mention guest harmonies from the McCrary Sisters on three songs ... and the band's enthusiasm for playing with new rhythms and textures is palpable, even infectious"

"'Headlight' exhibits a spirit of determination and hope, showing Della Mae moving in new directions whilst giving a nod to their traditional roots. It is not a wholly consistent piece, with one or two of the tracks verging on the formulaic but there is reward enough in their music to ensure that they shine through with their engaging spirit"
