Review from Razorcake Issue #79
So yeah, they named themselves Prince. Why? Bunch of stoners. I don't usually like something this poppy, but, damn, I think this is good. Clean, melodic, and incredibly catchy, especially "Young Americans" on Side A. It's probably their best song on this 7". I can say, though, after playing a couple shows with these guys, they really do possess the "it" factor live: the energy, talent and rawness is not captured in this recording. They are way the fuck better than this recording, so i'm looking forward to what's next for them. - Camylle Reynolds
Review from Maximum Rock N Roll - February 2014 Issue
This band from Austin, TX has a sounds that's hard to describe. These five songs are upbeat yet mellow, and when I say mellow, I mean tame. I wished there was something more to these songs that would have held my attention. I liked the band SHARP OBJECTS a few years ago and PRINCE reminds me of an indie version of that band. The two tracks that stood out for me were "Young Americans" and "One Whole Life" because they were the fastest and most driven. I wonder what prompted this band to name itself after the purple rocker himself? I prefer that guy over this band. This 7" isn't terrible, but there's something lacking. Hopefully the band finds the missing link once they release more albums.
