Music reviews
Music reviewers have described Marston's music as "instantly catchy, energetic pop rock tunes," "upbeat," and "crunchy." Guitar World editor Brad Tolinski described Marston's lyrics as "unique" and that he has "something to say," which is "worth listening to." My Old Kentucky Blog wrote that his music has "ragged urgency."

His vocals have been described as "over-enunciated," "understated," and having a "shy slur to sexy shout" with an "endearing loneliness" and a "quirky confidence."

His lyrics have been described by critic Addy Danti of Buzz Danti as "witty and wise beyond their years, set to grungy melodies that encapsulate a youthful angst. Another reviewer wrote that the "title track spins and jams with ferocity that doesn't take away from Marston's melodic quality." Another described his lyrics as "sleepily whimsical poems," while another described them as "quirky and charming."
