"What I love most about Reyez's music is that it's very multidimensional, and Before Love Came to Kill Us exemplifies that. In her debut album, she showcases her signature swagger and self-assertive inclinations but also peels back those layers to reveal scars and vulnerabilities that even the strongest person must fight to deal with and overcome. This album, along with Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia, also helped me immensely near the beginning of the pandemic and social distancing. As soon as I started to feel antsy about staying indoors indefinitely, I just played this LP and submerged myself in the music as a mental getaway." — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment
