"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."

"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.'"
