Reception edit
Junkee said, "The Waifs' heartfelt, plucked ode to missing home resonated with every Australian that has ever found themselves in a far-flung, cold place somewhere across the globe. Inside Josh Cunningham's scratched and ringing guitar was the warmth of a Perth summer's day, as Australian as a crinkled eucalyptus leaf."[1]
