"Wanamaker’s riveting vocal presence compels from start to finish. 'Last night I saw you in a dream, holding out your hand,' a sense of mourning conveys, letting out later that 'one day I might understand it your way.' The yearning lyrical prowess throughout is stirring."

"...The song tugs on the toughest parts of familial relationships and leaves a bitter sweet ear worm of softness and loneliness only a complicated family can create."
Valley Sessions
"The artist turns these harsh realizations into a stunning piece of downtrodden folk in With Me. This single only scratches the surface of what Wanamaker achieved on Glitter. The artist introduces herself as a forward-thinking addition to the burgeoning folk scene, unafraid of brutal honesty and a knack for making heartbreak sound infectious."
Glide Magazine
"Like a Dog is another standout, pursuing a more folk-forward introspection. ‘Wake me up from the dream I’m in,’ Wanamaker sings alongside ghostly acoustics, reminiscent of Joan Baez’ timeless-sounding folk appeal. A beautifully understated acoustical-driven song structure remains consistent throughout, as vocals escalate with spine-tingling effect in the closing minute."

"Working on her third project, things feel different for Wanamaker. She says there’s more focus this time around, more strategy, and a more personal theme across the lyrics. The songs were primarily written over the last year and a half, and she’s honed her skills in blending the country and folk genres."
