Reviews
Sean Holio from Cool Try said; "Different, but yet familiar. Honest but with a hint of lyrical insincerity that displays Missy wanting you to know where she has been but without divulging too much."[7]
Niko Batallones from Earthings reviewed the song, saying "after so long out of circulation (her last album was released five years ago) the Aussie singer-songwriter is back with a new style". "Although I’m a bit anxious that people will see her as a Gotye copycat, especially with the poppier sound and all the origami in her body".[8]
Simone Ubaldi from Beat Music reviewed the song, saying: "Unashamed Desire is a big old plonker of a piano tune with some dark muttering in the verse and arch wailing in the chorus" and that is a "Nice, big sound".[9]
Adrian Erdedi reviewed the song, simply saying: "Unashamed Desire is AMAZING".[10]
