Music journalist Will Hermes notes "sublimely janky '80s synths and melodies that jab and slide" on the album's songs.〔 ''Rolling Stone''s Ernest Hardy finds Hunt's vocal style similar to those of Prince, Curtis Mayfield, and Marvin Gaye, and comments that the album's music evokes influences such as the Beatles, Muddy Waters, and Sly Stone.〔 Neil Drumming of ''Entertainment Weekly'' perceives a lack of melisma in Hunt's singing, writing that he sings "clearly and crisply and sav() the crests and falls for the swirling synths, slick guitars, and percolating bass lines."〔
The album's subject matter is droll, stark, and confessional, and focuses on the pains of love, romance, and sex.〔〔〔 Songs such as "Anything (To Get Your Attention)" and "Down Here (In Hell with You)" deal with dysfunctional relationships.〔 On the latter track, Hunt asks "What would I do if we were perfect / Where would I go for disappointment?"〔 "Highlights" has him musing on a failed affair, as he uses a metaphor: "Old lovers turned critics curse at you on the silver screen".〔 "Precious" features a predominant Prince influence.〔
