"Eng seems to be able to churn out this stuff like nobody’s business and I say good on him—retro isn’t a bad thing, especially when it’s done as well as this."

"Although in his first work of 2018, Nick Eng delved into love with joy and passion, in this second album entitled Long Shot released this 2019 by You are The Cosmos, their songs are more introspective, they even tend to pessimism or anger as a result of some personal experience not exactly satisfactory."

"Nick Eng keeps the line of his debut with a bright seventies power-pop, provided with a neat and elaborate production."

"On this self-titled effort [Eng] does it all by his lonesome, playing and singing ten simple, sweet and snappy little tunes that never fail to stick in the ‘ol noggin."

"Nick Eng, known locally for his upbeat, poppy and cheerful love songs, is writing from a different perspective for his sophomore album, Long Shot."

"Brimming with jangly pop rockers (some that, yes, have that mid-’60s Fab Four vibe), it offers a more mature, introspective and — often — exasperated take on the trials and troubles of winning over the heart and mind of a prospective (and typically fickle) romantic partner than Eng’s previous songs that have garnered local radio play and fan streaming, such as, 'The One for You Is Me' and 'Reminiscing.'"

"A consummate and consistent professional on stage and in the studio, University of Nevada, Reno student Eng continues to craft pop-rock songs with early-1960s aesthetics that demand sweet sentiments and simple rhymes, straightforward top lines and clean guitar lines."
