Reception

TotalNtertainment said "The Conversations EP sees Budjerah emerging as a clear-eyed young songwriter who's at turns heartbreaking and heartbroken, lovelorn and headstrong, singing about changing friendships and relationships with the vigour of youth and an exposed depth that belies his age. Reunited with long-term producers Matt Corby and Chris Collins, the EP reveals a darker, sleeker sound for Budjerah, reflective of the changes that have occurred in his life." [6]

Dom Vigil from Prelude Press said "The seven song release finds him expanding even more on his signature soul/retro R&B sound in a way that'll have you hitting play all over again by the time it comes to an end. Bookended by the bright and summery 'Get Down' and the spectacular, confident finale, 'My Name', Conversations is made up of some of his best work yet." [7]
