In a mixed review, Robin Murray of Clash, wrote that although My Face Hurts from Smiling is "impactful" it "doesn’t stick around. A mixtape that lacks a degree of depth", pointing that "an artist who can’t quite connect with the audience she built. It’s reminiscent of Lizzo’s early work, undeniably talented, you’re left wondering if those who fell for her flute-twerking cavalcade will succumb to this".[12]
