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", including "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”; while Alex Hudson of Exclaim! felt that Box for Buddy, Box for Star had incorporated influences of classic country.
