“she’s captured the attention of everyone from Ed Sheeran to A Tribe Called Quest and left millions of listeners eagerly anticipating her studio debut. Such high expectations can be daunting, but on Dawn, Yebba performs with the self-assurance of an artist with nothing to prove. Mark Ronson handles the bulk of the production on Dawn, and he and Yebba continue to be a formidable team. While it’s reductive to compare her to Adele or Amy Winehouse, Ronson does pull whispers of the work he’s done with those two artists out of Yebba’s performance. Throughout Dawn, she exhibits wit and exemplary control and the blurred genre lines on the album are her playground.” - A. Harmony, Exclaim!
