"Few artists these days are so good at turning their private worlds into wide-open biospheres of pleasure and discovery...one of indie rock's most inventive young voices.” - Rolling Stone

"Duterte continues to stand out among a legion of genre-flouting nostalgists. With just 12 notes and a lifetime of memories, she’s assembled another mesmerizing self-portrait.” - Stereogum
"Anak Ko owes a lot to Duterte’s awareness of how simplicity can breed beauty. Its greatest trick is the delicate fittings of nuance amongst deceptively uncomplicated compositions.” - The Quietus
