[8] "Warm Me Up" is an up-tempo song that has verses in the style of the Cure; the pre-chorus sections recalled "Cry Me a River" (2002) by Justin Timberlake.

[13] In January and February, the band headlined the PacTour, with support from Envy on the Coast, Danger Radio and Another Day Late.

[15] Later in February 2008, an alternative version of the video was released, mixing in footage of the game Obscure: The Aftermath (2007), directed by Don Tyler.

[8] Ox-Fanzine reviewer Arne Koepke found that the band wrote "catchy verses and pleasing refrains en masse ready for us".

writer Sari Delmar said that while the band "refined their sugar-coated vocals and stepped it up to a whole new level of poppy-ness, they seem to have toned down the originality".

[22] Punktastic founder Paul Savage wrote that it was not a "bad record per se, it’s slower in pace and certainly less moody than its predecessor [...] You can’t mock or upset a band for wanting to go down that route, but I just feel The Audition were better with that 'oomph'".

[23] AllMusic reviewer Jason MacNeil wrote that after the first two tracks, the album "begins to slide down a slippery slope" in terms of quality.
