“Craig Stickland has one of those rare voices that stops you and speaks directly to your soul.” – Baeble Music
“Building from a spare and atmospheric intro, ‘SPF’ is an immediate earworm, but it takes nearly a minute before letting its hair down. But once the rubbery bass takes center-stage, with an ass-shaking drum part filling in the background, the song kicks into overdrive. It isn’t difficult to imagine ‘SPF’ soundtracking some sweaty dance parties this summer.” – The 405
