The music is spacious, jazzy and sinewy, and more accessible than her previous work, but with at times startlingly piercing lyrics.

Diandra Reviews It All
Yet, Being Human In Public is more than a sonic swim in the “feelings pool.” It waves with optimism that even if you feel bare in before all, you will learn how to fit in your skin while in front of them.

Canadian Beats Media
The chorus hits with the line “Nobody’s gonna say I didn’t give it all,” which sets the tone for the whole EP – in which Jessie definitely has given her all, and created 7 amazing songs.
-
Entertainment News Boom
The experience shows on her new EP, “Being Human in Public,” which should establish her as a deeply revealing, imaginatively conscious, funky songstress — although she’s as forthright and forward as any male singer as well.

The East Texan
What Reyez does with this project is allow her fanbase to see the layers of her style and personality. Most of the album deals with love and the freedom to do as you feel regardless of who judges you for it.

Exclaim
Being Human in Public is yet more evidence that her arrival on the scene was for real.
-
Vibe
Reyez makes sure that her honesty on wax is as plain and simple as it is in her personal life, and Being Human In Public is an audibly-pleasing extension of her personal beliefs and values.
-
Just Random Things
There is no escape from explicit lyrics on this album, and we do not encourage her to do so either. This is raw talent oozing out.

Capilano Courier
Being Human In Public is deeply personal yet it so easily represents the voice of many. To say that the album “speaks to you” would be a tragic understatement – it is a manifesto of women, of the other, of the lover, the loved and unloved, of the immigrant and of course, the human.
