Reception[edit]

Hayden Davies from Pilerats said:

Here And Now acts a re-cap of kinds for the last two years, covering her growth as a person and a musician since 'Drive' all the way through to the chart-storming heavyweight she is today. From 2017's 'Towers' and this year's highlight 'Time' right through to her latest single, the emotion-driven 'Radio Silence', Here and Now showcases this evolution and adventure through washed-out guitar melodies and Ray's notorious aching vocals, which instantly captivate you the second they float in.[4]
