"There’s very little that [Into The West] doesn’t do and there isn’t an instance of filler found among the nine tracks (ten counting the bonus acoustic reworking of “Blue Lightning Ambush”). It’s a thoroughly rewarding release." (Note: The album has been "sharked" as a potential "Album of The Year")

"Birdie Nichols has achieved a level of artistry as both a songwriter and performer by age seventeen that many of her peers and contemporaries never reach. The flexibility of Nichols’ material [is] another quality that underlines Into The West’s overall worth. Few albums released in 2024 are better.
