    The catch is that through all her generalizations it soon becomes clear that she needs that guy much more than a postmodern girl is supposed to. Too bad she can't pin it down and also can't pin him down. I blame the weed.

    Crazy For You may not break much new ground, but it's a fine record that fits nicely into the escapist beach pop melieu presently ranging in indie rock. [Summer 2010, p.77]

    The lo-fi sound is charming, the vocals are sugar sweet and the music infectious. From 'Boyfriend' to 'When I'm With You' (noticing a theme?) it won't challenge you, but it will please you.… Expand

    Great album from start to finish. This doesnt push the envelope, break any new ground or bring anything new to the music world.. but who cares! The vast majority of tracks on this make you want to go and have some fun. It’s surf punk pop at its best and just made me want to smile and sing along throughout. Boyfriend is a great song but this record is full of gems. Buy this record!… Expand

    One of the worst albums I've ever heard. Incredibly uninspired. I'd understand if the lyrics were at least decent, but they never go much deeper than "I wish he was my boyfriend / I wish he was my boyfriend."… Expand
