Critical reception
Critics noted a similarity to The Clash, particularly their version of "I Fought the Law".[2][3][4] Ian Roullier of musicOMH compared the band's "reggae meets rock music" style to that of Madness and called the song "light-hearted in tone, upbeat in style and no doubt a lot of fun to dance to, but it won't re-write the history of rock and roll".[5]
