"Ultimately, the Chicago-based duo of musician Rikk Currence and singer Holly Joy have cultivated their own pop sound that is still completely acceptable for all ages and creeds but also people from varying social backgrounds. Yes there are aggressive guitars and thunderous drums like Def Leppard just stepped in the building, but there are also soft synths and masterful piano riffs that stabilize any forcefulness. The result is a precise and expertly-produced sound and an emotional, spiritual note that is alternative to the conventionality of the pop genre."​ Daniel Davidson-Amadi - Music News.com (UK) "Music like this is sorely missing from the 2013 repertoire. JoyFocus fills this musical void, these 2 can hold her own against any controversial Pop/Rock star out there right now." Scottie Carlito - All What's Rock Blog "JoyFocus stays loyal to their own exuberant, consistent formula and style and somehow avoids sounding predictable. They are a warm, familiar place to go home to when the music fan wants music for a bright summer day, a shot in the arm, a sonic friend who’s had too much coffee and wants to drive around the city with the windows down and the volume up."​ Sean McCauley - Sonic Smash-Music
