Legacy

Reflecting on it ten years later, Stereogum's James Rettig dubbed I Will Be "a precursor to the summer of 2010's big trend" that included "sunny harmonies and fuzzy distortion" and bands like Best Coast and Wavves. He felt it "worth holding up as an exemplar" of its era's music due to how well it still stood up.[11]

"It Only Takes One Night" was used on the soundtrack of the 2010 EA Sports video game FIFA 11, while "Bhang Bhang, I'm a Burnout" was used on the soundtrack of the 2011 Atari video game Test Drive Unlimited 2.
