[7] Most of the album's instrumentation is provided by "fiddle, banjo, and cranked up electric guitar";[8] the lyrics revolve around "love, heartbreak and innocence lost",[8] with some sexual themes.

[11] On the group's official website, Leverett wrote about their sound: "We like our guitars loud, our fiddles ripping and a steady beat that makes people want to dance!

The New York Times' Jon Caramanica described the album as having influences from hip hop, teen pop, and R&B,[13] and Westword's Bree Davis connected it with an "underlying flavor" of bluegrass music.

[14] Eric Allen of the American Songwriter likened the group's sound to Shania Twain and Taylor Swift due to their focus on girl power.

[22] Dukes compared the duo's vocals to Peter Frampton,[22] and Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the track was similar to music by Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood.

[23] The fifth track, "Saturdays in September", is the album's only ballad,[8] and Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine compared the sixth song, "Sing Along", to the work of Natasha Bedingfield and Liz Phair.

[15] the JaneDear girls performed "Wildflower" on various late-night talk shows,[17] including Jimmy Kimmel Live!,[28] and the Country Radio Seminar.

[34] Deborah Evans Price of Billboard wrote that the JaneDear girls were considered a breakthrough act for 2011 based on the commercial success of "Wildflower".

[36] Some music critics praised "Shotgun Girl" as ideal for the summer,[8][36] though Jonathan Keefe called it an unsuccessful attempt at the arena rock sound of bands like Def Leppard.

[37][38] Alanna Conway of Taste Of Country summarized the video as focused on cars and colors, praising it as having "plenty of entertaining moments that will captivate the audience throughout the song".

[22][40][41] Bob Reeves, the vice president of Warner Music Nashville, said the song was the "overwhelming choice" following fans' response on social media and its digital sales.

[21] Jonathan Keefe panned "Merry Go Round" as a poor attempt to recreate Big & Rich's 2004 single "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)".

[20] They also served as the opening act for Reba McEntire's concert; for their set, the duo sang primarily covers of country and rock music, such as Led Zeppelin's 1975 "Kashmir".

Emily Burnham of the Bangor Daily News praised their performance as "a high energy start to the night", and McEntire called the duo "cute as a button".

[55] the JaneDear girls sang several songs, including "Wildflower", "Saturdays in September", and a cover of Pat Benatar's 1980 single "Hit Me with Your Best Shot", at the 2011 Country Music Association Awards.

[31] They also performed "Wildflower" and "Shotgun Girl" at the opening of 2011 CMA Music Festival;[58][59] during the set, Brown played a medley of Charlie Daniels' 1979 single "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and Johnny Cash's 1938 song "Orange Blossom Special".

[59] Chris Parton of CMT praised the group for their energy and harmonies,[59] while Matthew Keever of the Houston Press wrote that they had a polarizing effect on the crowd as either the best or worst act of the night.

[60] Along with the duo's live performances, the album was promoted further when the track "Sugar" was featured on a 30-second preview for the Desperate Housewives episode "Watch While I Revise the World".

[61] Peter Strickland, a senior vice president of brand management and sales for Warner Music Nashville, said the JaneDear girls were marketed based on three concepts: "Visual, youthful and high-energy.

"[11] Citing the uptempo material as the album's highlights, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the duo "wind[s] up with appealingly glitzy, crisp country-pop".

[7] Eric Allen praised the JaneDear girls as "a breath of fresh air and a welcome addition to the current risk-averse and cynical musical climate".

"[12] Jessica Phillips of Country Weekly rated the album two-and-a-half stars out of five, dismissing most of the songs as "uninspired", though she praised Brown and Leverett's vocals.

[63] On the other hand, Jonathan Keefe wrote that the duo relied on costumes and melodies to cover up "the fact that they can’t sing even a little bit" and believed that they do not have "a single authentic thing to say".

[69] Billy Dukes wrote that the JaneDear girls, like Bomshel and Miss Willie Brown, were an example of how some female duos were unable to find a "formula for success" in country music.
