[1] The band said the reason to release "Time to Win" in two separate volumes was because: "As a band, we are constantly writing and recording, so instead of taking years to finish and deliver an album, releasing them this way enables us the freedom to get music out to our fans faster, more often, and for less money".

The album was mixed at various locations such as The Orange Lounge, Toronto and South Beach Studios, Miami.

[10] In the United States it was added over 20 times in one week[11] and was played on over 60 Contemporary Hit Radio stations.

Ben Packard of Rock Wire called the EP "one of the most solid records of the year," praising the group's beats and vocals as "something you just can't ignore."

The first track "Time to Win" was described as the "perfect opening for the album" with its "incredibly catchy" production.

He approved of "Whoa Is Me"'s "incredible mix of beats and guitar shredding", and vocal transitions between the band members on "Your Man".

Packard opined that "Parade Music" is the most "'hip hop' type of song" on the album and complimented the guitar solo.

[13] "Rich Girl$" was described by Aryeh Carni of eatsleepbreathemusic.com as having a "cheesy 80′s sound like Eddie Money and it's got that guilty pleasure hook to go along [with it]".

On "Back of my Hand", she compared it to Eminem’s "Stan" due to the sound of "rainstorms and keys" being heard in the intro.

In addition, Carni noted their use of "beats and samples, heavy guitars and clever lyrical games" on the album.
