    With this slice of US college rock, tinged with British humour, the band prove that they can maintain this essential quality of their sound, even as they mature.

    Happyness gets more interesting when they dig deeper into rock history. [May 2017, p.32]

    Overall, Write In shows that, beneath their more leftfield influences, Happyness have it in them to be classic songwriters of considerable skill.

    They write songs that make you feel good, and sound good, whenever they come on, and they do it in such a way that you truly feel like you’re listening to them for the first time.

    Write In is serious song crafting from a playful group.

    Write In sees them continuing to demonstrate just how deceptively subtle their shifts in sound and approach can be, and the depth of their songcraft reveals itself over repeated listens in ways it never did before.

    Happyness's second LP is deceptively well thought-out, deftly constructed around unusual chord changes, and laced with subtly eyebrow raising sonics. ... Making you wonder just how impactful this able trio might be if they properly pulled their finger out. [Jun 2017, p.106]
