Awarding the EP three stars from New Release Today, Amanda Brogan-DeWilde states, "V.Rose's music is peppy and fun, served up with giggles and cheesiness. This EP is another offering perfect for tween girls or really anyone who likes poppy, positive music." [2] Joshua Andre, giving the EP four stars at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, writes, "this EP on Inpop Records has proven quite the contrary, with the style almost being identical to previous records, which is a nice familiarity as V. Rose continues to bring her vibrant and unique brand of music to the world...Look out world, V is coming, taking it all by storm- these 15 minutes or so of pure pop CCM goodness is proof that she will be a star now and in the many years to come!" [1] Rating the EP three stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Sarah Berdon says, "Hearts Up, finds the artist continuing to refine her brand of bubblegum pop music." [3] Stephen Luff, indicating in a six out of ten review by Cross Rhythms, describes, "With the right song, this label move could be good for the young lady, but the songs will need to be more memorable than those presented here."
