According to Quentin Harrison: “Upon the record’s conclusion, one is left with the sensation that they’ve just gone through Murphy’s watershed moment. The songstress has only ever answered to her own muse; that she has tendered such a set that is equally entertaining and challenging demonstrates that a balance between accessibility and artistry is achievable. In short, Murphy hasn’t only just made her own “happy ending” as she sang, she has also managed to create a body of work that will bring her undoubtedly remarkable story in song to broader attention—Róisín Machine is an unequivocal triumph.”
