During that time, she released numerous covers on her YouTube channel, including Ed Sheeran's " I See Fire".That baptism of fire into the music industry wouldn’t be easy for the toughest of individuals, but it was Janet’s gentle, sensitive, and even vulnerable interpretations on X-Factor that engaged her to the masses. The album kicks off with the title track, a traditional Irish folk and pop crossover, which lays the foundations for what is to come. Saint of Sinners features a truly haunting violin; that breathes the mournful and ancient quality of our traditional music; paired with a tribal, almost primal percussion section. Sweet sacred friend is a dreamy, imaginative affair; beginning with an almost fairytale-like opening; a lamenting flute, gliding harp and lucious vocals; before fusing with a reggaeton like beat and transforming into a highly infectious groove that is impossible not to move to.

Nick Smith of musicOMH described the music as "a sterling mix of folk, pop and traditional Irish" and Devlin's voice as "beautiful and assertive", concluding that " Confessional is an honest, brave and knowing cathartic journey, dealing with addiction, self-harm, religion and sexuality.It is tantamount to her strength of character, grit and determination that she rode the waves and battled those demons – so that by the age of 25 she’s come out the other side.
