Whereas Breaking Kayfabe used heavy beats and grime from the electronic genre for its overall sound, Afterparty Babies has a club-feel throughout with elements of house and tech house that go along with Cadence's autobiographical lyrics about inter-personal relationships in his hometown of Edmonton and the youth culture interacting with both the Internet and media in general. The album received a positive reception from critics, praising it for its experimentation of electronic music and its self-deprecating lyrics with pop culture references. To promote the record, Cadence toured across North America and Europe with appearances at music festivals.
