Newspapers and music press said about M.E.109's music:

"On the poppier side of power-pop, with echoey vocals. A bit out of step with the times, unless there was a chill teeny-bop movement I'm not aware of. The sort of group one wishes continued and developed their sound"

“Catchy sixties style music with witty lyrics”

"Good breezy new wave power pop".
