Chris Bailey, the group's bass guitarist and vocalist, described their motivation "The thing that drives the band, out of all the bands I've played with, is the fact it's still the best band to play with — just the music, the playability, everything."[4] Naomi Mapstone of The Canberra Times opined "[it] is not really a new direction for the band, it's more a celebration of pop. There are no, pretensions here. For the most part, Lingo specialises in; rejoicing in the inane or day-to-day aspects of life."[5]
