The sweetness of this record is almost palpable. It begins with 'All To Myself,' its gooey synth and autotuned harmonies working together in beautiful conjunction. Coffman's voice is very innocent and gentle, her pondering over every activity she thinks about going through ringing with a sort of childlike wonder. 'No Coffee' follows up with a dinkier presence, it's curious little guitar interjections and sweet vibes carrying it forward nicely. Bass takes a key roll in 'If You Want My Heart,' its super cute synths slowly building up to make the track ooze with sweetness.

There's always something interesting going on in each track that makes it interesting. The percussion of 'Dark Night' makes it sound really creative and fun, the huge bass synth pounding to add some drive. There's lots of layers of percussions that are used throughout the song, keeping it lively. The paradisical vibe of 'City Of No Reply' is also a nice sound, while the trumpets in 'Miss You' offer a nice little touch to the record, too.
