"Back in the eighties there were four Jersey gals dressing up in Catholic School girl uniforms and playing raunchy new-wavey pop and now they’re back. There’s a little more Joan Osborne than Joan Jett in their sound now but Make Me Believe is far from new-wave nostalgia. Petersen’s quavery vocals and the rest of the band’s musical gifts have matured gracefully. There’s a more full-on pop sound now, and more introspective songwriting, but that old punky, fun-loving spirit is still there too… and to prove that those hot-headed Lolitas from the 80s still live inside The Catholic Girls hearts, there’s a bouncy rockabilly tune extolling the virtues of "Young Boys". – Jim Testa – "The Jersey Journal"
