"A semi-acoustic, pop-punk act that turns equal portions of caffeine and whimsy into songs that are earnest, eccentric and damnably hard to get out of your head." ... "what it sounds like when punk gets a little older, starts to learn a few old country or folk tunes and maybe drunkenly convinces everyone that a glockenspiel solo would sound good right there."
-Band of the Now
"These three Pittsburgh dudes expand upon what FenwayPark started, adding even more intricate and floral orchestration. Heartfelt power pop and pop punk songs here benefit from addition of keys, glockenspiel, accordion, and cello. Some tracks are guitar-heavy pop punk, reminiscent of the Methadones; others recall the pub rock that preceded Elvis Costello. Later Faces albums come to mind. And in the more tender moments, there are bits of Cat Stevens. When I was thirteen I would have kicked myself in the dick for saying that and considering it a complement, but times have changed." ... "Overall, this is a very lovely, lovingly crafted album."
