Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone stated that "Gibson paved the way for today’s young female chart-toppers, from Billie Eilish to Olivia Rodrigo."

In June, she embarked on a solo, critically acclaimed, 15-city U.S. tour of ‘The Body Remembers.’ “Gibson has always recorded and performed on her own terms, and last night's show definitely had the imprint of an artist in control of her craft.” - Houston Press
