Young's team describes the artist's sound as "Caliville", "an intersection of his Southern California upbringing and his passion for Nashville".[4]
Background
Although Young did not plan to release an EP prior to his full-length album, after "Sleep Without You" was published, Young knew that he must distribute his music to fans as soon as possible.[5][6]
Critical reception
Timothy Monger of AllMusic says "the smoky-voiced singer offers up six warm, romantic cuts that showcase his earthy charm."[7]
Taste of Country states that Young "mixes soul, R&B and country in a way that fits neatly between any two songs you hear on the radio now", comparing the artist to Lee Brice and Jack Johnson.[8]
Stage Right Secrets states that each song is "strategically [placed]" and that "The song order mainly focuses on the emotional rollercoaster you go through when you are in a relationship".[9]
