In an interview with The Age, Peaches said of her music:
"You know, some people find it really angry and sexual, while others find it really funny and sexual...Some people find it, you know, revolutionary, and some people find it really backward."
The British lesbian magazine Diva called Peaches, "the bisexual queen of dirty electro-cool."
