In an interview with Women in Pop, Graace said "[It is] literally the polar opposite to [debut EP] Self Sabotage. I think my growth in those three years was pretty immense emotionally. I love this EP so much because it's not just about heartbreak, I've finally been able to write about my father and things that are really, really personal." [7]

[9] Poppy Reid from Rolling Stone Australia gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, saying "The Sydney artist's latest work proves girlhood can be witty, naive, bold and toxic all at once." [10]
