The Telegraph

Martyn Young from Dork called Blood Orange "impressive in its scope and ambition" and noted: "Combining widescreen anthemic string-laden pop with joyous disco-tinged hops and just the right dose of heartbreak, it's a step up from an artist looking to establish themselves as a big deal."

Commercial performance

In the United Kingdom, Blood Orange spent one week at number seven on the UK Albums Chart with recorded sales of 7,654 units over the first week. It became Ridings' second top 10 album in the region, following her debut which peaked at number three.
