Best two reviews:
1) The Independent (UK)- At an age where the pressure is on to have everything worked out, Harding sounds delightfully free. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >
2) The Skinny- Designer is a record entirely in the image of its creator--Harding remains as lyrically oblique as ever, and the idiosyncrasies in her voice remain her calling card--and yet one that strongly recalls Julia Holter’s Have You in My Wilderness or Angel Olsen’s Burn Your Fire for No Witness in how calmly it oozes confidence.

4) Rolling Stone- Her quizzically beautiful third LP, where she pivots artfully from folk eccentric to pop eccentric. (Rating: 80) Read Full Review >
5) The Guardian- For anyone braced for a further explosion of oddness, the strangest thing about Designer might be how disarmingly pretty it is. The staginess of Harding’s vocals has been slightly toned down, although she is still wont to sing with a curious enunciation, as if she’s invented her own accent. The tunes are sweetly charming.
