The album received acclaim from critics, who praised the production, LGBTQ related lyrics and Electra’s vocal performances.

[4] Dorian Electra first began making music as a student, attending a progressive school that allowed them to hand in songs in place of traditional assignments.

[5] During this time, and later at Shimer College in Chicago, Electra made songs on philosophical and academic topics such as Friedrich Hayek and René Descartes.

[6] They came to identify with the emotional immediacy of pop music during their time at college, having previously only enjoyed the genre on an ironic level.

[7] After graduating, they were hired to make pop-infused educational videos on subjects including sexuality, drag, and history for the feminist outlet Refinery29.

[9] Electra wanted the cover to reflect this range of genres as it incorporates visuals associated with pop music, punk and heavy metal, and appears almost like a portrait of Mozart.

For Electra, its origin as a style of gothic architecture incorporating flame-like designs and bold colors, which eventually came to signify something "bright and colourful that you couldn't look away from", mirrors the modern use of the term to mean "proud, and loud, and out there".

[5][6][24] The song was produced by Will Vaughan with a stereotypical EDM sound to represent the intensity of the central "Career Boy" figure.

[25] Electra aimed to "[tear apart]" this over-the-top persona[25] while remaining sympathetic to them and ultimately presenting them as a queer character that LGBTQ fans could identify with.

[13] Paper Magazine considered the track to have "sticky melodies" and direct lyrics,[26] which cover themes of gender and consent.

[9] The title track "Flamboyant" is an electropop song with maximalist production,[29] incorporating J-pop synths and piano chords, garage rock-inspired guitar riffs, metal drums, whip sounds, and autotuned vocals.

The theologian Yannick Schlote cites these subversions as examples of the video portraying God's acceptance of gay love.

[7][25] The "Daddy Like" music video features colorful visuals alongside campy outfits and caricatures of male success.
