"Skating that fine line between pop music and intelligence takes a fundamental understanding that the 1, 4, 5 and forlorn stories of heartbreak are simultaneously juvenile and genius. This is no easy task, and though Pet Lions are not the first to accomplish this, they do it well. Soft Right offers a set of songs that join the timeless formula of fun dance beats, strong melody, and rock and roll guitars in an innovative, yet nostalgic way."
-Hard Times Chicago
"late-70s and early-80s power pop and new wave, with a focus on strong, airy melodies throughout and plenty of clever lyrics to add to the classic pop spirit of the tunes. That’s not to say the Lions lack their own identity. There’s a distinct, buoyant guitar sound here that gives the material its own flavor. Pretty impressive for a band that’s so far only released five songs."
