Reception

Thrash Hits reviewer Tom Doyle said that the first track, "Right Where You Want Me to Be", started "things off in pleasant enough fashion" with "its bouncing, super-infectious chorus". [1] Doyle called the band's cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" "a pretty sedate plod through a song which wasn’t really that good to begin with", and that their cover of The Fray's "Over My Head (Cable Car)" suited better to the band's style.[1]
