Tania Zeine from ARIA mentioned how the time off between albums allowed Goodrem to compose one of her greatest albums yet . They also praised Goodrem 's " diversity of style and genre with her tracks " and that she " shows off vocally with her broad range of soulful harmonies and Christina Aguilera like power solos . " Emily Booth from The AU Review rated the album 7.8 / 10 . She noted highlits of the album include Child of the Universe , Touch , Hunters and the Wolves in which she noted that it was " excellently produced and wildly atmospheric and arguably the best track on the album " , and Control . However she did point out that " Dancing with a Broken Heart " is still one of the weakest songs of her career . Booth said that , " The best thing about the new record is the diversity of styles , because she can really show off her best asset , from the rock-tinged vocals on ' When My Stars Come Out ' to the Mariah Carey-style harmonies on ' Safe to Believe ' . There are plenty of songs which pay their respects to her musical roots , for the fans of her older stuff , but Delta has always had a versatile voice . " The album 's first single " Sitting on Top of the World " was nominated for Song of the Year at the ARIA Music Awards of 2012 , but lost to " Brother " by Matt Corby . Sitting on Top of the World also gained two nominations at the 2013 APRA Awards . The first was for " Pop Work of the Year " and the second being for " Most Played Australian Work " . However the winner of both awards was Timomatic for Set it Off
