Whilst not as loud or as brash as their self-titled debut, So When You Gonna… is a record that shows Dream Wife bolder than ever, asking questions and opening doors that few are willing to look at. It asks you what you want and challenges you to go after it.

"Despite numerous similarities to the debut of the British girl trio, So When You Gonna… is inferior. Although their lyrics have an ambition to address necessary themes and emotional and personal conflicts in a serious and relaxed way at the same time, most of these songs are totally forgettable because they rarely present elements that make them unique.
