Critic Reviews

Spin
What elevates this bove a cheeky tribute is the unselfish sweetness that Schwartz mixes with his smarts. [Feb 2008, p.94]

The Onion (A.V. Club)
Schwartz's insinuating songwriting and appealingly mewling voice remain intact amid the grooves, which split the difference between low-tech, low-affect variations on modern R&B and early-'80s synth-pop.

All Music Guide
The joy and silliness are enough to keep the record out of sleazy Har Mar Superstar territory, but it also means that there is a serious lack of substance on the record.

Under The Radar
Walking the line between sexed-up absurdity and reverent Top 40 R&B, they obviously have an affinity for the material, with Schwartz purring and swooning over Yasuda’s electronic grooves. [Winter 2008]

PopMatters
Designed as disposable pop, it’s getting less relevant with each passing minute.

Tiny Mix Tapes
Simply put: the lyrics are simply too vacuous and cliched, the production tinny and lacking any real thump, and Scwhartz’ charm? Nowhere to be found.

Pitchfork
Neither here nor there, the funklesss would-be dancefloor fodder of P.D.A. frankly comes off D.O.A.

Alternative Press
The songs feature countless tired hip-pop cliches: gratuitous scratching, tinny programmed beats, burbling keyboards and faux-sexy lyrics. [Mar 2008, p.147]
