It's a big moment, I'm super stoked to drop my debut."

Simone Ziaziaris from Sydney Morning Herald said "G Flip draws from [their] own personal experiences to sound deeply personal and honest – so much so, that by the end of the album you feel as if you've known [them] for years." adding "Kindling the success of the album is G Flip's talent in building pop-gems out of a simple synth riff, bouncy piano chords and incredibly smooth vocals. It's a skill [G Flip] applies to [their] singles, 'I Am Not Afraid', 'Drink Too Much' and 'Killing My Time', and one [they]'ll no doubt pull off on hits to come."
James d'Apice from The Music AU said "Thanks to [their] drumming background, rhythm comes naturally to G Flip. That insight is too reductive though. G Flip's real triumph is neither a command of rhythm, nor of melody, but [their] command of character – as an artist, [G Flip] is compelling. As much as About Us might sound like it's about someone else, it's really about our G Flip and the authentic approach [they take] to the world around [them], and to [their] music."
Some Fuamoli from Triple J said "Born out of a concentrated period of chaos, G Flip's debut album is anchored by self-introspection and raw emotion." and described About Us as "...a snapshot of young lives in flux; finding your own place in a relationship and with yourself. It's a look at the still-firming personal ground of any 20-something."
Zoë Radas from Stack Magazine said "For someone as obsessed with rhythm as G Flip, [they] also [have] a falcon's grip on melodic pop hooks which are both meaty and fluid as rain. [Their] vocals can belt boldly or come in ultra-close, as in the exhilarating single 'Bring Me Home'".
David Bennun from Metro News said "About Us, which details a relationship with an on-off girlfriend, is typified by big percussion and great washes of keyboards, topped with an insinuating croon that feels not as fully [their] own as the music behind it."
Heather Phares from AllMusic said "Flipo finds ways to give About Us more personality whenever [their] tales of lust and heartache could become generic... [and] by the time the album closes with the happily ever after of '2 Million', Flipo proves that in love and in [their] music, [they're] never less than fully committed -- and that's what makes About Us a promising debut."
