The group's official website posted this review for their current single:
| “ | This song came about after a long conversation about Los Angeles. Both Ross and Judie (Tzuke) had just come back from there and when the chat ended we wrote it in about 20 minutes. It was perfect, one of our very best and the lead single. It sounds like Fleetwood Mac in their prime. [5] | ” |
Another Paul's opinion about the song was interviewed for RealMusic:
| “ | It’s a beautiful song, one of our very best, and it’s about accepting who you are in the moment and not trying to distract yourself with everything else – gaining a new understanding of yourself and life. [6] | ” |

The music video for "Enjoy the Ride" was produced by cartoon animator Joel Trussell and is an animated tale of bringing the dead back to life. The video is equally as calming as the song, as animated creatures and animals dressed in costumes travel through a cemetery, waking the dead.
