“Magill writes conversations as if they were still-lifes, taking every ounce of emotion and creating something beautiful from disparate moments and phrases .” - Jammerzine “A gorgeous performance evolves into a portrait of the artist …It’s bare and true. It’s also more complicated than it seems. We hear an influence of Feist and Sharon Van Etten.” - The Wild is Calling “From its restrained techno beginnings to concert hall confessional; Sarah sends out a sincere song of endearingly demure pop…” - Week In Pop. “In an artistic and creative landscape influenced by AI and reboots, Quiet Takes offers something refreshingly human. The songs on ‘Regrets Only’ breathe and bleed just like we do.” - It’s Psychedelic Baby “‘No One Again’ seems to, strangely enough, encompass moments reminiscent of Hall & Oates’ slow jams and, simultaneously, all the raw power of your favorite folk music. This should be the opening track to any introvert’s playlist...” - Up to Hear “No One Again’ … S. Carey joins to provide some typically pretty backing vocals, and there are even some environmental recordings from Kansas City, all of which come together to transform what might otherwise be laidback indie pop song into something with many planes, refracting thoughts and memories into new patterns and shapes.” - Various Small Flames “Quiet Takes finds the middle ground between Rhye and Norah Jones, with some of the vintage soul presence known to D’Angelo. Songwriter Sarah Magill offers a new timbre within this vibe, an affect we find intoxicating.” - The Wild is Calling “‘No One Again’ is a dream and psychedelic tribute to solitude, beginning with Magill’s vocals encased in piano and swaying drums before the track unravels in its latter half. By its end, it takes on a glassy art pop character, colored by overlapping melodies and wiry spools of guitar, all refracting off of iridescent synth tones.” - Under the Radar “Warm synthesizers blend with bit-crushed percussion to create a pulsing, ethereal backdrop for Magill’s storytelling. The song’s call-and-response chorus showcases Magill’s immersion in pop music across all the decades. You’ll find yourself humming it for weeks. There’s something timeless in the song’s sound – it could exist anywhere from the mid-80s to late last night. — Glide Magazine
