With their second album, the addition of A.J. Dunning to the mix gives them a more aggressive guitar sound. At the same time, they show a more adventurous side, exploring a broad definition of pop music from delicate love songs and 3/4 ballads to edgy, bitter rockers, even taking on the occassional Latin rhythm -- each song takes on a different character, but all are tied together by pop smarts, clever songwriting, and lush four-part harmonies. ~ Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide
