The entertainment publication Lifestyle Inquirer described the group as "the epitome of a P-pop girl group long before the term even became colloquial. They arguably set the foundation and have become the formula inspiration for many groups that followed: Viva Hot Babes, Mocha Girls, and EB Babes, to name a few."[6] An article in Gaby Gloria also cites them in the origins of P-pop.[7]
"The Spageti Song" was written and produced by Lito Camo.[8]
