His single Just Thought You Should Know, off of his self-titled EP, was profiled in Music Now Magazine, Issue 4. SingerUniverse, in naming him Best Vocalist of the Month for his performance of his song Never Gone, wrote: Never Gone is a mainstream, midtempo pop cut which is a bit reminiscent of Ryan Tedder's style with his band OneRepublic. The song has a strong melody throughout, and the chorus has big arrangement due to the dynamic drum tracks and multi-layered vocals. Never Gone provides a fine showcase for Wells' clear, expressive lead & harmony vocals.”
