Pulse was judged by MusicOMH to be a "bold change in direction....pulled off extremely competently".[3] The Scotsman newspaper suggested the "lilting conversational beauty of [the track] "Paperbacks" - up there with Joni Mitchell's best moments".[2] Popmatters viewed it as "less a game-changer than a paradigm shift",[4] while UNCUT magazine concluded it is "as beautiful as it is unsettling".[5]
