Dylan Marshall from
Isadora Vadasz from The Music Insight stated that "Over 13 tracks, Montaigne takes [their] listeners on an epic journey of wild highs and sullen lows... The resulting sound beckons you into a dark circus tent full of temptations and pleasant surprises."[6]
Jeff Jenkins from Stack Magazine said "[Montaigne]'s debut album is aptly titled, with the singer delivering thrilling electro pop infused with genuine soul. [They're] just as effective when [they] straighten up and simplify things – check out the ballad 'Consolation Prize' and the pure pop of 'What You Mean to Me'. A star is born."[7]
Banda Wilson from Music Feeds wrote: "Glorious Heights is a record that is built around Montaigne's inimitable voice. Pretty much everything else created with the goal of featuring [their] vocals in a variety of contexts, in an effort to show off [their] vocal skillset."[8]
