The album contains a single acoustic track, Still Together, which is a re-recording of Together, written by DeMarco on 2009 to Makeout Videotape EP Bossa Yeye, also features DeMarco using falsetto singing in the chorus. The opener, Cooking Up Something Good, uses a song structure where a catchy verse transitions to a "blindsiding" darker chorus. Robson Girl also juxtaposes a "sweet" verse with a guitar-shredding chorus.
Lyrically, DeMarco covers growing up in suburbia, failed love and family secrets, the last featuring heavily in Cooking Up Something Good. Ode to Viceroy is a tribute to the singer's favourite brand of cigarettes. DeMarco is apologizing to his mother in Freaking Out the Neighbourhood, and trying to convince a girl to leave town with him in The Stars Keep on Calling My Name.
DeMarco's guitar work was praised by several reviewers. 2 was named a longlisted nominee for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize on June 13, 2013. The album was recognized as one of The 100 Best Albums of the Decade So Far, a list published by Pitchfork in August 2014. In 2019, Pitchfork ranked the album at number 149 on their list of "The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s".
