The Wisconsin State Journal wrote that 5ive Style "knows how to play with the [instrumental rock] genre and offer material that stands on its own without lyrics, fancy solos or cookie-cutter arrangements."[4] Guitar Player noted that "the Meters are probably 5ive Style's closest antecedent, but the band also incorporates shades of early ska and new wave, dub reggae, Zeppelin's funkier moments, and the mighty JB's."[5]
