Musical style

Jake Nevins writing for Interview Magazine felt that for Box for Buddy, Box for Star , Amos had decided to "let his stylistic tendencies run free." further going into detail, "Postal Service-esque electro-pop on “Perfect Hand,” and, in his own words, a “Bruce Hornsby-ass piano” hook on the ‘80s synth-pop banger “Dancing in the Club.” [4] While Alex Hudson of Exclaim! felt that Box for Buddy, Box for Star had incorporated influences of classic country.
