""German Love" latches on to a sweet guitar melody amidst stuttering samples, layering a bright sing-along chorus over a neon keyboard line. "Holly" marries cheeky, deadpan lyrics ("L.A. hasn't killed me yet") to ticking percussion, soulful guitar, and a repetitive, descending synth riff for a track that wouldn't sound out of place on Fujiya & Miyagi's setlist. And "Pop Song" is exactly as advertised: A strutting gem that uses a funky bassline, distorted effects, and videogame synths to enhance the band's best melody… these fuckers might actually become stars." - Pitchfork
