The vocal dynamic between Bohn and Carter has been the center of attention, because Bohn had not taken clean vocal duties prior to Headspace. Carter rapped a significant amount of lyrics on songs "Flojo", "Blue Wall", and "Someone Who Does". "Blue Wall", regarded as one of the heaviest song on the album, features vocals from guitarist A.J. Reviewers also showed their appreciation for a new mix of genres the band has tampered with including country ("Home Soon" and "Yung and Dum"), jazz ("Hero"), funk ("Hero" and "The Realest") and rap. The record has largely been seen as an improvement over their self-titled record, most notably the guitar work has been stepped up utilizing jazz chords, more lead riffs, and choppy syncopated rhythms. Upon its release, the album has received generally positive reviews.
