SPILL MAGAZINE
With so many strong songs, this album brings to mind the same creative spirit evident in mega-albums of the past that delivered hit after hit. Alice Merton is definitely one to watch.

Alice Merton Encourages Us to Embrace Joy and Fearlessness on 'MINT'.
-
glide magazine
Mint is as catchy as any album that has topped the pop charts over the last year, but it is a lot more than dance beats and pop hooks.
-
exclaim!
Merton shows great confidence in her abilities as an artist across her debut record, without losing her sense of fun.
-
ALL MUSIC
A front-loaded set song-wise, it maintains an effervescence and living-room danceability that has the potential to charm the masses.
-
The New York Times
Listening to the album as a whole, there are diminishing returns from the certainty that a new gimmick is coming every eight bars. Pop songs live by their hooks; it’s no wonder that Merton’s debut album piles them on, eager to please.
-
Cryptic Rock
Bright and hopeful, genuinely meaningful, the album is a collection that proves that Alice Merton has a bright career ahead of her.
-
The Ithacan
"Mint" is lackluster and brings nothing new to Merton's sound.
-
Diandra Reviews It All
Such a dynamic is clearing and feels enlightening to both the ears and mind on how to love yourself enough to surpass haters.
-
When the Horn Blows
Alice Merton’s much anticipated debut album doesn’t only live up to the expectations created for its self by her autonomously released single, ‘No Roots’ that launched her career into the spotlight in December 2016 but in my opinion it surpasses them.
-
The Current
Mint is an album of great songs and songwriting without trying to be anything more than what you already expect.
-
Medium
For what it’s worth, you could do much worse.

RiFF Magazine
Alice Merton debuts in ‘MINT’ condition with a breath of fresh air.

SouthWaves Audio
The album overall shows a very positive start to the German-Canadian songwriter, and I will look forward to hearing more from her in the future for sure.
-
Secret Meeting
The record is a whirlwind of synth-pop, disco and rock music as Merton offers up a tight debut that offers much to its listener.
-
Peanut Mix Tape
The tracks are catchy, with driving rhythms partnering strong choruses as she explores themes of female empowerment and her independence.
-
MoggBogg
The dance-pop queen has an album filled with songs that will make you boogie, and songs that will make you sit, completely relating to it.

Why You Should Love Music
Dat old-school bass groove.

Alice Merton is a strong and exciting singer.
-
Schummthing Special
Overall this isn’t a bad album. I liked Alice’s vocals throughout it and for the most part the songs were good lyrically.
-
Closed Caption
Her vocals are more heavy than a typical pop act, while she adds a depth that most pop acts cannot achieve.
-
tinnitist
She may not be reinventing the pop wheel, but at least she’s putting her own refreshing spin on it.
-
Merry Go Round Magazine
Star quality is not a tangible or often useful concept, but I feel confident in stating that Alice Merton has it.
-
The GM Reviews
the majority of the tracks are just bops, and with that, most of the musical choices that Merton makes for this album helps her to stick out among the plethora of rising alternative artists in the seen.
