Critical reception

In a review for AllMusic, Mark Morton wrote that the EP is "darker in nature" than Fiction Plane's debut album, Everything Will Never Be OK (2003), and described it as a "soulful, somber, and acidic ... successful hybrid of alternative rock balladry and singer-songwriter affectation." [1]
