So I was never expecting to release an EP, but when iTunes came to us, and became fervent supporters and said, "put out anything and we'll give you the artist's spotlight".

[1] Artists that influenced the EP's sound include Elvis Presley, Poison, and Van Halen.

[10] Writing for The Huffington Post, Felicia C. Sullivan said that the EP was "decidedly anti-genre", containing elements of jazz, pop, electronica, rock, and blues.

Del Rey endorsed the critique,[11] adding that she: "... didn't feel trapped in a trailer park.

We all liked giant, lush, fake flower gardens and liked to decorate the walls with streamers even if it wasn't our birthday.

[11]Shirley Halperin of The Hollywood Reporter noted the EP differs from the tone and sound of Del Rey's debut major label single, "Video Games", which gained Del Rey significant mainstream attention.
