Hokus Pick's entry in Mark Allan Powell's Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music includes such things as:
- ...belongs to the genre of '90s "fun music"
- compared to The Monkees, due to the retro, catchy sound
- more-than-music package of video, drama, and stage antics
- consciously makes what they call "happy feet music"
- "lots of audience participation and stupid band tricks."
- One goal of a Hokus Pick concert, Russ Smith says, "is to make sure the audience has a very, very fun time. And the other is to tell them that Jesus loves them."
