Brad S from auspOp called the album "stellar" saying "Maybe it's her voice, which is part Janis Joplin, part Aretha Franklin and all heart, or maybe just the classy production throughout, but this feels like an ‘artist’ album in a way her contemporaries only wish they could pull off." adding "Things I've Done is a triumphant celebration of both Karise's extraordinary voice and the personal obstacles she's had to overcome."[3]
