Content
The EP features 4 songs, all recorded at The Wade Studios by Andrew Wade in Ocala, Florida[6] and were previously released in some form by the band, though not on an album:
- "Right Where You Want Me to Be" was released as a special stand-alone holiday single for Christmas in 2009.

Reception
Thrash Hits reviewer Tom Doyle said that the first track, "Right Where You Want Me to Be", started "things off in pleasant enough fashion" with "its bouncing, super-infectious chorus". [1] Doyle called the band's cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" "a pretty sedate plod through a song which wasn’t really that good to begin with", and that their cover of The Fray's "Over My Head (Cable Car)" suited better to the band's style.[1]
