Influences: AbsolutePunk.net's David Pritchard writes:

On "Wishing On A Star":
"The bouncing guitar chords and simple lead guitars underscore lyrics full of earnest yearning. The chorus is as big as anything from Dusk and Summer..."

On "Spring Break":
"...the very relatable and youthful pangs expressed in the lyrics make this a summer driving song if e'er there was one. The urgent indecision in the lyrics--and the music, which captures that theme--keeps this pop song compelling and fun, not to mention ridiculously catchy (I dare you to NOT get the "Carpe Diem" part stuck in your head. Go ahead. I dare you)."

On "Father's Day":
"...the soaring vocals add that undercurrent of melancholy that makes it a compelling listen."

On "In This Moment":
"The backing vocals in the bridge are awesome (it's like a choir of Ryans), and the lead guitar is simple and tasteful, meshing nicely with the driving drums and quick chords. This is a bona fide hit. This would explode if given the right radio exposure. I mean, it stuck in my head with one listen, if that's any indication. Go listen to it. NOW."
