"Touching on the brilliantly sloppy post-punk and art-rock of bands like Swell Maps, Wire, and The Clean, there's a calming sense of "cool" throughout the record, shimmering through jangly propulsions of nervous energy ("Back To Reality"), disorienting twang with elastic rhythms ("American Love Ballad"), and downer songs set to upbeat punk grooves ("Blank Ambition"). Through it all McKeever has a way with his (generally self deprecating) words, and by the end you can't help but love the idea of Staffers and his big win for the underdogs of the world." - Post-Trash
