"The cast recording proves that the book works very well as a musical due to its relatable nature, especially with Want at the helm … she brings her consistently great vocals and huge personality to the role. [Want is] sassy, emotional … the blues-y inflection in her vocal tone is stunning in ‘Second Base’ … I'd like to think this production could have a future life. Based on this recording, it definitely deserves one."

✭✭✭✭"Want’s voice glides through the songs, seemingly effortlessly, an absolute pleasure to listen to throughout … Smatterings of spoken word are included, often to good and punchy dramatic effect. The character development is quite extraordinary, as the listener is taken through an emotional rollercoaster (a pleasurable one at that) … it is difficult to resist with such jaunty music and some witty lyrics … [Girl In A Crisis] is a short and sweet coming of age story, and one that would work well as a full production in a studio theatre."
Chris Omaweng, London Theatre1
9/10 "[the album] is a wonderful production … the execution is flawless… the story is just the jumping off point for something that is so much more than the sum of its parts … but what makes this shine is the characterisation of Flic. The writing is spot on, genuinely funny and you really start to care for her. This is in no small part down to the wonderful casting of Lorna Want. She can sing, but she also gets under the skin of the character and can act. The comedy wouldn't work if Want wasn't funny. And when things go wrong, your heart breaks for her."
