Ross described Complicated as "a body of work that showcases lyrically who I am as a person, and me sonically as a creative". [7] He noted that he is "drawn to different sounds and production depending on what the emotion of the song calls for" and that the EP represents who he is "becoming as an artist". [8] Ross co-wrote every track on the EP, with the exception of "Tell Me a Lie". [9]
Rachel Goodman of Now Toronto described the EP as "a curated compilation of traditional sounding country and songs that are more up tempo". [10] An uncredited article from Culture Fix stated that Ross "is cemented as a storyteller with a mastery of the country-rock sound" on this EP. [11]
