Underground Sound states, "...good tape with punk anthems....it's a cool headtrip. ..superb layering and a groovin vocal diposition...".vocals..soft and warm, backed by an atomspheric synth...its bouncy tunes and catchy lyrics will stick in your head for weeks", says Manible in Crisis in their Preimere Issue.Banned Thoughts, a University of Calgary paper, in their Garage Zone section, describes the band as "...post-punk rock style of the 80's and combine it with the avant-garage sound of the 90's...tender vocals reminiscent of Elvis...sweet but hard-edged rockin' tunes which radiate with Ramone's flavour...move along with the punk-pop hybrid genre...maintained an honest quality to his music...Alternative Press in their October 1995 issue says, "...drawing inspiration from Marc Bolan, Stiv Bators, Johnny Thunders and new wave synth pop, Ronnie Round sings songs of love, alienation and longing in a high, vulnerable voice...".
