Singer Tina Halladay felt like their first few efforts were a "personal coming out party", while this new record signifies a point where they moved "past that", in that she could not imagine having created these songs years prior.

[1] She further opined that artists do not seem "to write straight up rock bangers anymore" and declared their goal to have an album that puts "huge, catchy songwriting front and centre".

[3] The album was announced on November 9, 2023, alongside the release of its eponymous second single,[4] a song that spins "a tale of life on the road" with a sense of "self-assured swagger".

[8] Linnie Greene of Spin awarded the album a B+ grade and wrote, "These songs are atmospheric the way Thin Lizzy on the jukebox electrifies a room, closer to bodily possession than mere catchiness.

Tina Halladay's growl entwines with Kyle Seely's razor-sharp riffs, and the result is alchemical: melodies that burrow deep alongside radio classics like Rick Springfield's "Jesse's Girl" or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' "Don't Do Me Like That."
