"Their sunbeaming vocals and spine-tingling harmonies drift across a carefree backbeat... like the vibrant love child of Feist's "1, 2, 3, 4" and Edward Sharpe's "Home." - Neon Gold

"[Pacific Air's] potential for crossover shines throughout the jangly "Float," which breezes along with toe-tapping beats, whistling, and lilting harmonies...Float's humble lyrics show that the duo craft their lush chant-alongs with a universal relatability, and never try to conceal them for the novelty."
-  MTV Hive

"Easy-to-love indie pop songs, but it's actually their simplicity what makes them so beautiful. Whistles, dreamy backing vocals and the summer'y vibe is what brings these songs to the next level."
- Disco Naivete

"... enchanting male vocals."- KCRW
